How much is 2000 worth after
20 semi-annual periods
using an annual interest rate of 4%
compounded semi-annual?

Calculate effective interest rate

There are 2 semi-annual periods in a year
Convert interest rate to semi-annual
Semi-Annually Interest  =  Annual Interest Rate
  Compounding Periods

Semi-Annually Interest  =  0.04
  2

Semi-Annually Interest = 0.02

Calculate Accumulated Balance

A = B(1 + i)n
where A = accumulated balance
B = opening balance
i = Semi-Annually interest rate
and n = number of periods

Plugging in our values

A = 2000(1 + 0.02)20
A = 2000(1.02)20
A = 2000(1.4859473959784)
A = 2,971.89

How much interest was earned?

Interest Earned = Accum. Value - Start Balance

Plug in our values

Interest Earned = 2,971.89 - 2,000.00
Interest Earned = 971.89

A = 2,971.89
Interest Earned = 971.89
