You invest $720 in an account that has an annual interest rate of 6.2%, compounded semianually. How much money will be in the account after 5 years?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

This time P = 720, r = 0.062, n = 2 (semiannually means twice a year) and t = 5

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you'll have A = 720(1+0.062/2)^(2*5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So to start: A= 720(1.031)^10

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

very good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A= $977

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
