how much money will there be in an account at the end of five years if $14000 is deposited at 4% interest compounded semi-annually? ( assume no withdrawals are made.)
:
Use the compound interest formula
A = p%281%2B%28r%2Fn%29%29%5Ent
Where
A = the resulting amt after t years
p = initial amt (14000)
r = interest rate in decimals (.04
n = no. of times compounded per year (2)
t = no. of yrs (5)
:
A = 14000%281%2B%28.04%2F2%29%29%5E%282%2A5%29
A = 14000%281.02%29%5E10
A = 14000%2A1.218994
A = $17,065.92
