19981.17

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 2, 502$ , $r = 13 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.13$ , $n t = 17$ , so the growth factor is $7.9860778453$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $2, 502$ × $7.9860778453$ = $19981.17$ .
