11673.58

11673.58

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 6, 857$ , $r = 6 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 9$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.03$ , $n t = 18$ , so the growth factor is $1.7024330612$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $6, 857$ × $1.7024330612$ = $11673.58$ .
