17683.70

17683.70

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 6, 519$ , $r = 5 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 20$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0041666667$ , $n t = 240$ , so the growth factor is $2.7126402855$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $6, 519$ × $2.7126402855$ = $17683.70$ .
