61518.91

61518.91

Step-by-step explanation

Use $A = P {(1 + r / n)}^{(n t)}$ with $P = 8, 952$ , $r = 11 %$ , $n = 2$ , $t = 18$ .

Compute period rate and exponent: $\frac{r}{n} = 0.055$ , $n t = 36$ , so the growth factor is $6.8720853833$ .

Multiply principal by growth factor: $8, 952$ × $6.8720853833$ = $61518.91$ .
