----------------
A(t) = P(1 + (r/n))^(nt)
A(t) is the amount you will have after "t-years".
P is the original investment
r is the yearly rate of interest
n is the number of times you compound in a year
t is the number of years you compound
---
A(6) = 5000(1 + (0.066/12))^(12*6)
A(6) = 5000(1.0055)^(72)
A(6) = $7421.29
