10256.66

10256.66

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 6, 163$ , $r = 3 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0025$ , $n t = 204$ , so the growth factor is $1.6642316751$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $6, 163$ × $1.6642316751$ = $10256.66$ .
