Part 1: <span>What is the periodic interest rate of jade investment?
Each compounding period is done semi-annually, which means twice a year. Since the given interest rate is annual, then 5.2% divided by half should yield the period interest rate, which is 2.6%

In 1 year, there are 2 compounding periods. In 2 years, there are 16 compounding periods.</span>
