If every six months the capital earn 10% interest which is compounded, at the end of 5 years, the interest will be 31875. If the annual interest rate is 10%, it makes no difference how often it is compounded. The six monthly interest rate is adjusted - to 4.88% rather than 5% - so that the total interest for a year is 10%.
Semiannually in compound interest refers to the process of compounding interest twice a year. This means that interest is calculated and added to the principal amount every six months. As a result, the total amount of interest earned over a year is higher compared to annual compounding, since interest is calculated on the previously accrued interest more frequently.
4.75 percent of 900 is 42.75 . A few pennies more if the interest is compounded at any time during the year. For example, if interest is compounded every month, then you have 43.69 at the end of the year.
If interest is compounded quarterly, it is added to the principal four times a year. This means that interest is calculated and added to the principal every three months, resulting in four compounding periods within a single year.
APR stands for annual percentage rate. That being the case, it does not matter whether the interest is compounded every day or every millisecond. The effect, at the end of a year is interest equal to 2.25 percent. So, 2000 at 2.25 percent compounded, for 4 years = 2000*(1.0225)4 = 2000*1.093083 = 2186.17
Interest is compounded semiannually if the interest is calculated every six months and added to the capital.
Semiannually over two years is equivalent to 4 periods. If the interest is 12% every 6 months, then the amount of interest is It is 8000*[(1.12)4 -1] =4588.15

In 1995, the interest rate on a Series EE savings bond was set at 6.0% for the first six months after purchase. After that period, the bond continued to earn interest based on a fixed rate that was adjusted every six months. It's important to note that the interest is compounded semiannually, and the bonds mature after 30 years.

The interest rate on savings bonds varies depending on the type of bond and the time of purchase. For example, Series I bonds offer a combined interest rate that includes a fixed rate and an inflation rate, which is adjusted every six months. Series EE bonds earn a fixed interest rate, compounded semiannually, and are guaranteed to double in value if held for 20 years. It's important to check current rates on the U.S. Department of the Treasury's website, as they can change periodically.
