Answer:
a) 12.36% b) $3,207, 135.47
Here's the b question
how much money will accumulate in the account at the end of 10 years
Explanation:
a)periodic rate= nominal rate / number of periods in a year
= 12%/2 = 6%
effective annual rate
= ( 1+ 0.5)²= (1 + 0.06)² = 0.1236 = 12.36%(0.1236 x 100)
b) value at year end
invested value ( 1+ interest effective)ˣ
= 1000000( 1+ 0.1236)¹⁰
= $3,207,135.47
