Members SteveyDevey Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 I had a few accounting classes in college. There wasn't a subject I despised more for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Super_Donut_Man Posted November 6, 2007 Members Share Posted November 6, 2007 I am extremely rusty on this, but I would assume that you would double the amount of periods and half the annual interest This is assuming that you know how to compute just a single annual interest.

Yeah, I can do that, I think the problem I'm running into here is that the interest is compounded. But I could be wrong. I'll post the problem when I get a minute.
