A person deposits Q.5,000 in a savings account that pays 10% annual interest, convertible semi-annually. What will be the amount collected after 28 months?
Accepted Solution
A:
Using simple interest formula,
I=Prt, where I is the simple interest, P is the principal, r is the rate of interest and t is the time in years.
I=(5000)(0.10)(28/12)
I=(5000)(0.10)(7/3)
I=1166.67
The amount after 28 months is Q.6166.67
