Gold

10,000/2 = 5000

Then use the compound interest formula

For Certificates of Deposits.

Use the Compound interest formula

Rate and period are in years. Convert to semi annual basis.

3%/ 2 = 1.5%

14 * 2 = 28 periods

= 5000 ( 1+ 0.015) ^ 28

= $7,586.11

Add both

=$12,892.67 + $7,586.11

= $20,478.78
