P = 19360

t = 2

Step 2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=P(1+r)^t \\ A\text{ = future value} \\ P\text{ = present value} \\ r\text{ = rate} \\ t\text{ = time} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Step 3:

Substitute in the formula

[tex]\begin{gathered} A\text{ = 19360 }\times(1+0.11)^2 \\ A\text{ = 19360 }\times1.11^2 \\ A\text{ = }23853.456 \end{gathered}[/tex]
