40766.46

40766.46

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 23, 946$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 18$ , so the growth factor is $1.7024330612$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $23, 946$ × $1.7024330612$ = $40766.46$ .
