48461.31

48461.31

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 22, 344$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 26$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.015$ , $n t = 52$ , so the growth factor is $2.1688733728$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $22, 344$ × $2.1688733728$ = $48461.31$ .
