 Answer by unlockmath(1688)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Hello,  
The formula we want to follow is: 
A=P(1+r/n)^nt 
P is the principal ($5,000) 
r is the rate (.08) 
n is number times per year (12) 
t is the number of years (2) 
Plug these in and we get: 
A=5,000(1+.08/12)^24 
At this point we'll need a scientific Calculator.  
I don't have one available right now so go ahead 
and do the calculations.
