48837.93

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 21, 172$ , $r = 4 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 21$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 84$ , so the growth factor is $2.306722744$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $21, 172$ × $2.306722744$ = $48837.93$ .
