148806.17

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 8, 761$ , $r = 15 %$ , $n = 12$ , $t = 19$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.0125$ , $n t = 228$ , so the growth factor is $16.9850672278$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $8, 761$ × $16.9850672278$ = $148806.17$ .
