Answer:: $ 5,588.59
Working notes for the above answer is as under
Base amount = $2,944.00
Interest Rate= 6%
Effective Annual Rate= 6%
Calculation period= 11 years
Now we will put all this figure in to the formula as follow
A = P(1 + r/n)nt
Where:
A = Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
P = Principal Amount
I = Interest Amount
R = Annual Nominal Interest Rate in percent
r = Annual Nominal Interest Rate as a decimal
r = R/100
t = Time Involved in years, 0.5 years is calculated as 6 months, etc.
A = 2944 (1+0.06)11
=$ 5,588.59
