13727.89

13727.89

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 6, 199$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 4$ , $t = 16$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0125$ , $n t = 64$ , so the growth factor is $2.2145324106$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $6, 199$ × $2.2145324106$ = $13727.89$ .
