82164.45

82164.45

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 18, 986$ , $r = 9 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.09$ , $n t = 17$ , so the growth factor is $4.3276334104$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $18, 986$ × $4.3276334104$ = $82164.45$ .
