We will have $272,733 at the end of the 28 years.

Explanation:

Investment Amount = $19,000

Amount after first 14 years = $19,000 x (1 + 8%) ^14

Amount after first 14 years = $19,000 x (1 + 0.08) ^14

Amount after first 14 years = $19,000 x (1.08) ^14

Amount after first 14 years = $19,000 x 2.9372

Amount after first 14 years = $55,806.80

Amount after second 14 years = $55,806.80 x (1 + 12%) ^14

Amount after second 14 years = $55,806.80 x (1 + 0.12) ^14

Amount after second 14 years = $55,806.80 x (1.12) ^14

Amount after second 14 years = $55,806.80 x 4.8871

Amount after second 14 years = $272,733.41
