This problem is solved by using the compound interest formula:
A=P(1+(I/period))^(number of periods)
Where A = amount accumulated and P = amount loaned and I = Interest
A = ? P = $2, 000, I = 0.115, Period = 2 (semi annually) Number of period = 2
*7 (I. e paid twice over a 7 yrs span)
So we have
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.115/2)^(14)
A = 2000 ( 1 + 0.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (1.0575)^(14)
A = 2000 (2.1873851765154) = 4374.77035
So we have 4374.80 to the nearest cent.
Before the foundation of the United States, the Kingdom of Britain owned the 13 colonies on the East shore of North America. Those colonies were separated into 3 regions: the New England, the Middle Colonies, the Southern Colonies. Economic activities and trade was dependent of the environment in each of those regions. Economy in the New England : ship building industry, fishing, trade. Economy in the Middle Colonies: farming, lot of jobs for skilled workers. Also merchants invested money in colonies. In the Southern Colonies: cotton and tobacco-industry. The economy impact the livelihood of the original 13 colonies by giving jobs and money to the colonists.
A downfall of the infant-industry argument is that o<span>nce established, a tariff is politically difficult to remove.
For new industries, it almost impossible for a new startup to compete against a well-established industry unless they have a unique differentiation in their product.</span>
