~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
desired value = .
= 1.05 is the effective growth rate per half of a year.
The 2*2 in the power is 2 halves of a year taken twice, for two years.
Thus, the equation is
10000 =
or
10000 = ,
which gives
present value = = 8227.024748 = 8227.03 dollars, rounded up to the nearest cent.
