A. |
$9726 |
|
B. |
$9526 |
|
C. |
$9626 |
|
D. |
$9826 |
i = 8%/2 = 4% per semiannual period
t = 11*2 = 22 semiannual periods
10 semiannual deposits and 12 periods of no deposit or withdrawal
FW of account = 500*(F/A,4%,10)*(F/P,4%,12)
= 500*12.006107*1.601032
= 9611.07 ~ 9626
option C is closest to answer,
