Suppose that $16,000 is deposited for five years at 5 % APR. Calculate the interest earned if interest is compounded semiannually. Round your answer to the nearest
cent.

Sagot :

[tex]~~~~~~ \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\dotfill &\$16000\\ r=rate\to 5\%\to \frac{5}{100}\dotfill &0.05\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{semi-annually, thus twice} \end{array}\dotfill &2\\ t=years\dotfill &5 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=16000\left(1+\frac{0.05}{2}\right)^{2\cdot 5}\implies A=16000(1.025)^{10}\implies A\approx 20481.35[/tex]
