Solve it as two problems.
Principal, P = $12500
1. 2 years at 12% p.a. compounded monthly
2. 3 years at 14% p.a. compunded semi-annually.
1.
monthly interest = 12%/12 = 1%
R=1+0.01=1.01
n=2/(1/12)=24
Amount after 2 years,
A2=PR^24 = $12500*1.01^24 = $15871.68
2.
semi-annual interest = 14%/2 = 7%
R = 1+0.07 = 1.07
n=3/(1/0.5)=6
Final amount,
A = A2*R^6 = $15,871.68*1.07^6 = $23,819.12
