Answer:

The total amount with annual compounding is 23,304.79 .

The interest with annual compounding is $18,304.79.

The total amount with semi annual compounding is 24,005.10.

The interest with semi annual compounding is $19,005.10.

The total amount with quarterly compounding is 24,377.20.

The interest with quarterly compounding is $19,377.20.

What are the total amount and interest?

The formula for determining the total amount is:

FV = PV(1 + r/m)^nm

Where:

FV =total amount

PV = amount deposited

r = interest rate

n = number of years

m = number of compounding

Interest = FV - amount deposited

FV = 5000 x (1.08)^20 = 23,304.79

Interest = 23,304.79 - 5000 = $18,304.79

FV =5000 x (1.08/2)^(2 x 20) =24,005.10

Interest = 24,005.10 - 5000 = $19,005.10

FV =5000 x (1.08/4)^(20 x 4) =24,377.20

Interest = 24,377.20 - 5000 = $19,377.20
