EXPLANATION

Let's see the facts:

Initial Amount = $1,030

Interest rate = 4% = 0.04 (in decimal form)

Compounding rate = Semiannually = 2 times by year

Time= 2 years

As we already know, the Formula to calculate the Principal is as follows:


P=I(1+(r)/(n))^(nt)

Substituting terms:


P=1030(1+(0.04)/(2))^(2\cdot2)

Adding numbers:


P=1,030(1.02)^4

Simplifying the power:


P=1,030\cdot1.0824=1,114.87

The Amount obtained is $1,114.87
