Suppose you invest $1000 in a savings account that earns 3% interest compounded per year. This amount that you invest is called your principal.

How much money will you have at the end of year 1?

Suppose you invest $1000 at 3% per year but instead of earning the interest yearly, the account earns the interest compounded semi-annually. Thus, each quarter you earn 1/2 of 3% interest or 3/2% interest per quarter.

a. Do you see that 3/2% is equivalent to .03/2?

b. Complete the table to show the amount of money you have.
