<PRE><B>Question 1019899</B>
 How much money in dollars should a person deposit in a 6-months certificate of deposit CD that earns 8% simple interest in order to have $4000 when the CD matures at the end of the 6 months? Round your answer up to the nearest cent. (Enter a number.) 
-----
A(t) = P(1+rt)
-----
4000 = P(1+0.08*(6/12))
------
4000 = P(1.04
------
P = 4000/1.04 = $3846.15
