How much money will there be in the account after the given number of years for the following: P= $3000, R= 5% COMPOUNDED SEMIANNUALLY,t=5 years
------------------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
---
A(5) = 3000*(1+(0.05/2))^(2*5)
-----
A(5) = $3840.25

How much money will there be in the account after the given number of years for the following: P= $3000, R= 5% COMPOUNDED SEMIANNUALLY,t=5 years
.
Compound interest formula:
A+=+P%281+%2B+i%2Fn%29%5E%28nt%29
Where
A is amount after time t
P is the principal
i is the interest
n is number of times compounded
t is time (in years)
.
A+=+P%281+%2B+i%2Fn%29%5E%28nt%29
A+=+3000%281+%2B+.05%2F2%29%5E%282%2A5%29
A+=+3000%281+%2B+.05%2F2%29%5E10
A+=+3000%281+%2B+.025%29%5E10
A+=+3000%281.025%29%5E10
A = $3840.25
