113988.50

113988.50

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 8, 294$ , $r = 14 %$ , $n = 1$ , $t = 20$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.14$ , $n t = 20$ , so the growth factor is $13.7434898719$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $8, 294$ × $13.7434898719$ = $113988.50$ .
