On Melissa's 6th birthday, she gets a $6000 CD that earns 6%intrest, compounded semiannually. If the CD matures on her 16th birthday, how much money will be available ?
------------------------
A(t) = P(1 + (r/n))^(n*t)
-------------
A(10) = 6000(1 + (0.06/2))^(2*10)
-----------
A(10) = 6000(1.03)^20
-----------
A(10) = 6000*1.8061
-----------
A(10) = $10,836.67
