1. P = Po(1+r)^n.
r = 0.046/2 = 0.023 = Semi-annual
% rate.
n = 2Comp./yr. * 8.5yrs. = 17 Compounding periods.
P = 26,000(1.023)^17 = $38,270.058.
8.5yrs. = 102 Months.
38,270.058/102 = $375.20/Mo.
2. I = 38,270.06 - 26,000 = $12,270.06.
Karen obtained a $26,000 loan at 4.6% compounded semiannually.
