If you invest $2,000 at a 5% interest, compounded semiannually, how much will you have in 10 years?
***
compound interest formula: A=P(1+i)^n, P=initial investment, i=interesr rate per period, n=number of periods, A=amount after n-periods.
For given problem:
P=2000
i=.05/2=.025
n=2*10=20
..
A=2000(1+.025)^20
A=2000(1.025)^20
A=$6554(rounded)
how much will you have in 10 years? $6554
