$\$ 13,435.19$

Work Step by Step

The amount $A_{f}$ of an annuity consisting of $n$ regular equal payments of size $R$ with interest rate $i$ per time period is given by $\displaystyle \quad A_{f}=R\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}$ ----------- Given: $R =500,\ n =20$, $i=\displaystyle \frac{0.06}{2}=0.03$. $A_{f}=500\displaystyle \times\frac{(1.03)^{20}-1}{0.03}=\$ 13,435.19$
