26082.98

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 20, 324$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0041666667$ , $n t = 60$ , so the growth factor is $1.2833586785$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $20, 324$ × $1.2833586785$ = $26082.98$ .
