Problema Solution

Manually calculate the compound interest on an investment of $8,500 at 6% interest, compounded semiannually, for 18 months. (Points : 2)

Answer provided by our tutors

amount= p(1+r/100)^n

= 85000(1+3/100)^3

= 85000 * 103/100 * 103/100 * 103/100

= 92881.7

compound interest = amount - principal

= 92881.7 - 85000

= $7881.7
