    The formula for calculating the ending balance of the certificate of deposit is

    A = P * (1 + r/n) ^nt

    Where:

    P = initial deposit amount

    r = annual nominal interest rate

    t = number of years

    n = number of compounding periods per year (for example, 12 for monthly compounding)

    A = ending balance

    So in the problem:

    P = $5,000

    r = 0.06 or 6%

    n = 2 since it is semi-annual.

    t = 5 years

    Solution:

    A = P * (1 + r/n) ^nt

    = 5000 x (1 + 0.06/2) ^2 (5)

    = 5000 x (1.03) ^10

    = 5000 x 1.343916379

    = $6,719.58 is the value of the certificate after 5 years.
