60211.83

60211.83

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 7, 909$ , $r = 12 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 17$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.01$ , $n t = 204$ , so the growth factor is $7.6130775138$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $7, 909$ × $7.6130775138$ = $60211.83$ .
