-------------
Assuming it's 2.46% per year:
5 years is 10 compounding periods.
FV = PV*(1 + 0.0246/2)^10 = 1800*(1.0123)^10
Just calculator work.

A = P + I where
P (principal) = $1,800.00
2.46% = 0246/2= 0.0123
5 years
2 times/year
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
A = 1,800.00(1 + 0.0246/2)^(2)(5)
A = 1,800.00(1 + 0.0123)^(10)
A = $2,034.07
