You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if the interest is compounded monthly, then the CD will be worth 10,000 * (1+(.0126/12))^18 = 10,190.69631 dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "this assumes your annual interest rate is 1.26% which is equal to a rate of .0126 per year.
\n" ); document.write( "to get an equivalent rate per month, you divide .0126 by 12 to get .00105.
\n" ); document.write( "you then multiply 10,000 * (1 + .00105)^18 which becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "10,000 * (1.00105)^18 which becomes equal to 10,190.69631
