55946.83

55946.83

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 4, 506$ , $r = 13 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 20$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.065$ , $n t = 40$ , so the growth factor is $12.4160745337$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $4, 506$ × $12.4160745337$ = $55946.83$ .
