71252.38

71252.38

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 6, 509$ , $r = 13 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 19$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.065$ , $n t = 38$ , so the growth factor is $10.9467473682$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $6, 509$ × $10.9467473682$ = $71252.38$ .
