Answer provided by our tutors

Initial amount=$50000

rate=0.016

Number of years=5

Amount after 5 years compounded semiannually= 50000(1+0.016/2)^5*2

                                                                    =50000(1.08)^10

                                                                   =50000*2.16

                                                                   =108000

Amount after 5 years compounded semiannually=$108000
