57008.90

57008.90

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 23, 436$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.025$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $2.4325353157$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $23, 436$ × $2.4325353157$ = $57008.90$ .
