Answer:

  • $16377.34

---------------------------------

Use the compound interest formula:

  • A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt),

Where A - future amount, P - invested amount, r- annual interest rate, n - number of compounds a year, t - number of years

Given:

  • A = $20000,
  • r = 2% = 0.02
  • n = 12,
  • t = 10.

Substitute known values and solve for P:

  • 20000 = P(1 + 0.02/12)^(12*10)
  • P = 20000/(1 + 0.01/6)^120
  • P = 16377.34
