I have made some adjustment inorder to solve this problem for my easier approach.

For Every year the capital is increased by 50 percent and we need the amount at the end of eighteen years.

This is equivalent to: Capital is increased by 50 percent for every year and find the amount at the end of 6 years. 

Solution: P = 2000, r = 50/100 = 0.5, n = per year, t = 6 (number of years)

            C = P ( 1 + r/n )^(nt)

           C = 2000 ( 1 + 0.5/1)^[1*6]

           C = 22781.25
