The future value of money using compound interest is given by:
Where
F is the future value
P is the present value
r s the annual interest rate
n is the number of compounding per year
t is the total number of compoundings
This problem asks for the present value (P)of a future sum (F=5000), when the interest is 8%(r=0.08) compounded semi-annually (n=2) for a length of 8 years (t = 8*n = 16).
Solving for P:
The answer is C
