71598.78

71598.78

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 20, 899$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.08$ , $n t = 16$ , so the growth factor is $3.4259426433$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $20, 899$ × $3.4259426433$ = $71598.78$ .
