***
compound interest formula: A=P(1+r/n)^nt, P=initial investment, r=interest rate, n=number of compounding periods per year, A=amt after t-years.
For given problem:
P=10000
r=.02
n=2
t=6, 12, 18
..
A(6)=10000(1+.02/2)^2*6
A(6)=10000(1.01)^12=11,268.25
A(12)=10000(1.01)^24=12,697.35
A(18)=10000(1.01)^36=14,307.69
