Answer:

D. $11,843.37

Explanation:

[tex]principal \times (1+\alpha)^6 \times (1+r_n)[/tex]

We will adjust by inflation the principal, and then calculate the interest.

Inflation is 0.025 every six month, and it is compounding interest.

Our rate will be for six month as well. Because TIPs pay interest semianually as well.

[tex]principal \times (1+0.025)^6 \times (1+0.0425/2)[/tex]

11,843.36903
