38645.80

38645.80

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 23, 996$ , $r = 10 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 5$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.1$ , $n t = 5$ , so the growth factor is $1.61051$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $23, 996$ × $1.61051$ = $38645.80$ .
