A = P(1+ r/)^nt

A = 10000(1 + .12/2)^2(5)

= 10000(1.06)^10
= $ 17,908.48
Yes
Answered by MathMate
Principal, P = $10000
interest per period of 6 months, i = 0.06
number of periods, n = 5 yrs/0.5 yr = 10
Value at maturity
=P(1+i)^n
He will have money to pay for the Jeep, and perhaps the sales taxes as well.
