Answer:
The answer is: $39,748.80
Step-by-step explanation:
The principle amount is p = $1600
rate is 10% or 0.10 but as its compounded semiannually it becomes,
[tex]\frac{0.10}{2}[/tex] = 0.05
n = [tex]8\times 2[/tex] =16
Formula is :
[tex]p\frac{(1+r)^{n}-1 (1+r)}{r}[/tex]
Putting values in formula we get
[tex]\frac{1600(1+0.05)^{16}-1(1+0.05) }{0.05}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1600(1.05)^{16}-1(1.05) }{0.05}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1600*(2.183-1)(1.05)}{0.05}[/tex] = 39748.80
The value of the annuity due is $39,748.80
