286451.09

286451.09

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 18, 872$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 24$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.12$ , $n t = 24$ , so the growth factor is $15.1786289345$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $18, 872$ × $15.1786289345$ = $286451.09$ .
