After 5 years, 20000 at 7% per annum compounded semiannually will be
20000*(1 + 0.5*7/100)2*5
= 20000*(1.035)10
= 28211.98

Total value = 20000*(1.06)2 = 22472 So interest = 2472
It depends on how quickly / frequently the account compounds interestThe general equation for interest is this:A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)Where A is the amount you will have at the end, P is how much you put in to begin with, r is the annual interest rate as a decimal. Also, n is the number of compounds per year and t is the number of yearsYou have given an A = 20,000You have given a t = 15 yearsYou have given an r = 0.05 (or 5%) aprYou want to find P, but you havent given me an n yetI will assume n=4. I make that assumption because that is very common. Most accounts compound four times a year. They call that "quarterly". Its a fair assumption. But if you want to be conservative try n=1, which is called "annually" and the account is compounded only once a year.Given the equation:A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)Plug in what we know.20000 = P(1 + 0.05/4)^(4*15)20000 = P(1.0125)^(60)20000 / (1.0125)^(60) = PI get P = 9,491.35205, approximately.You will want to invest 9,491.36
1% 0f 20,000? (1/100)(20,000) = 200 or 0.01 x 20,000 = 200
