Harold Lau will deposit enough money today so that his account will contain $20,00 . in 10 years. The account will pay interest at 8% compounded semiannually. Compute the interest (in dollars) that Harold will earn during the 10 years. (Use Tables 16-1A&B or 16-2A&B or a calculator.)


0.08 ÷ 2 = 0.04; 2 × 10 = 20; $20,00 . × 0.45639 = $9,127.80;
$20,00 . - $9,127.80 = $10,872.20 interest
