Manuallu calculate the compound interest on an investment of $12,000 at 7.5% interest, compounded semiannually, for 2 years.
c.i=p(1+r/100)^n use this formula
c.i-compound interest,p-principal,r=interest,n=time
How would I do the problem
p=12000,r=7.5,time is semiannual, so u take it as 4 12000(1+7.5/100)4=answer
find out and tell me
$51,600
c.i=amount -money borrowed c.i=12000-answer=ur final answer
ur calculation is wrong check it again
its 16025.629 c.i=16025.629-12000=4025.629
its power 4 not muliply it with 4
answer is right?
12000((1+7.5/100)^4)-1)=4025.629
First compute the semi-annual interest rate rate = (1+(.075/2))^2 annual rate = (1.0375)^2 annual rate = 1.07640625 annual rate = 7.640625% total = 12,000 * (1.07640625)^2 total = 13,903.81 And to double check that here is a calculator: http://1728.org/compint.htm
Oh and the interest earned is 13,903.81 minus 12,000.00 = 1,903.81
no its wrong
i need to know the meaning semiannual
