Question

7,500.00 is invested at an APR of 4.9% compounded semi annually (twice per year). Write a numerical expression that would compute the value of the investment after 13 years. g

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

13 years would be a time in the future hence you use future value formula.

Future value formula is FV = PV*(1+r)^n

r = interest rate; in this case it is the semiannual rate = 0.049/2 = 0.0245 as a decimal.

pv = principal amount invested = 7,500.00

Duration of investment; in this case, number of semi-annual periods =  13*2 = 26

The expression would be ; 7500(1.0245)^26
