87857.86

87857.86

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 20, 041$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 25$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 50$ , so the growth factor is $4.3839060187$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $20, 041$ × $4.3839060187$ = $87857.86$ .
