46240.83

46240.83

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 19, 236$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 11$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0066666667$ , $n t = 132$ , so the growth factor is $2.4038692793$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $19, 236$ × $2.4038692793$ = $46240.83$ .
