Problema Solution

Antonio invests $3,000, at 10% interest, compounded semiannually for 12 years. Use the compound interest formula to calculate the compound amount for his investmen

Answer provided by our tutors

The formula for the compound amount is


A = P (1 + (r/n))^ (n*t)


P = $3,000

r = 0.1 (10% interest)

n = 2 (interest compounded semiannually)

t = 12 years


A = 3000*((1 + (0.10/1))^24)


A = $9676 approximately


After 12 years the compound amount will be $9,676.
