71740.71

71740.71

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 22, 119$ , $r = 8 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 15$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.04$ , $n t = 30$ , so the growth factor is $3.24339751$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $22, 119$ × $3.24339751$ = $71740.71$ .
