Compound Interest
compounded semiannually
A = P(1+(r/2))^2n
r is annual rate as a decimal
P is principle
n is number of years
A is present value

A = 2000(1.0245)^16 = 2945.92
P = Po(1+r)^n.

Po = $2000.

r = 0.051/2 = 0.0255 = Semi-annual % rate expressed as a decimal.

n = 2Comp./yr. * 7yrs. = 14 Compounding

Suppose that
$2000
is loaned at a rate of
15%
, compounded monthly. Assuming that no payments are made, find the amount owed after
