To calculate the compound amount for a deposit of $6,980 at an interest rate of 11% compounded semiannually for 8 years, you can use the formula ( A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt} ), where ( P ) is the principal amount, ( r ) is the annual interest rate, ( n ) is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and ( t ) is the number of years. Plugging in the values: ( A = 6980(1 + \frac{0.11}{2})^{2 \times 8} ). This results in approximately $16,177.49 as the compound amount after 8 years.
I haven't gotten the answer to that test question either....the choices seem wrong
The annual equivalent rate is 15.5625%. The amount invested is irrelevant to calculation of the equivalent rate.
To calculate the future value of an investment compounded semiannually, you can use the formula: [ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} ] where: ( A ) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. ( P ) is the principal amount (5000). ( r ) is the annual interest rate (0.06). ( n ) is the number of times that interest is compounded per year (2 for semiannual). ( t ) is the number of years the money is invested (10). Plugging in the values: [ A = 5000 \left(1 + \frac{0.06}{2}\right)^{2 \times 10} = 5000 \left(1 + 0.03\right)^{20} = 5000 \left(1.03\right)^{20} \approx 5000 \times 1.8061 \approx 9030.50 ] Thus, $5000 would grow to approximately $9030.50 in ten years at 6 percent compounded semiannually.
To calculate the future value of $20,000 in 20 years with a 7% interest rate compounded semiannually, you can use the formula for compound interest: [ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} ] Where: ( A ) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest. ( P ) is the principal amount ($20,000). ( r ) is the annual interest rate (0.07). ( n ) is the number of times interest is compounded per year (2 for semiannual). ( t ) is the number of years the money is invested (20). Plugging in the values: [ A = 20000 \left(1 + \frac{0.07}{2}\right)^{2 \times 20} ] Calculating this gives approximately $76,124.74.
The rate is 15.56%. The amount invested is irrelevant in this calculation.
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

You should have 5976.51 provided the fractional units of interest earned are also rolled into the capital.

To calculate the future value of $73,000 at a 7% annual interest rate compounded semiannually for 3 years, you can use the formula for compound interest: [ A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} ] where ( A ) is the amount of money accumulated after n years, ( P ) is the principal amount ($73,000), ( r ) is the annual interest rate (0.07), ( n ) is the number of times interest is compounded per year (2), and ( t ) is the number of years (3). Plugging in the values: [ A = 73000 \left(1 + \frac{0.07}{2}\right)^{2 \times 3} \approx 73000 \times (1.035)^6 \approx 73000 \times 1.225 \approx 89,725. ] Thus, the future value after 3 years is approximately $89,725.
The future value of $600 invested for 5 years at an 8% interest rate compounded semiannually can be calculated using the formula FV = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where FV is the future value, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years. In this case, P = $600, r = 8% = 0.08, n = 2 (since interest is compounded semiannually), and t = 5. Plugging these values into the formula, we get FV = 600(1 + 0.08/2)^(2*5) = $925.12. Therefore, the future value of the investment after 5 years would be $925.12.
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.
