Answer:
Explanation:
13 years would be a time in the future hence you use future value formula.
Future value formula is FV = PV*(1+r)^n
r = interest rate; in this case it is the semiannual rate = 0.049/2 = 0.0245 as a decimal.
pv = principal amount invested = 7,500.00
Duration of investment; in this case, number of semi-annual periods = 13*2 = 26
The expression would be ; 7500(1.0245)^26
