33033.95

33033.95

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 5, 955$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 32$ , so the growth factor is $5.5472623828$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $5, 955$ × $5.5472623828$ = $33033.95$ .
