249754.56

249754.56

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 20, 285$ , $r = 9 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 28$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0075$ , $n t = 336$ , so the growth factor is $12.3122781222$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $20, 285$ × $12.3122781222$ = $249754.56$ .
