Answer: B: $5,469

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the formula for compound interest:

CI = P(1 + r/n)^rt, where n is the number of times the interest is compounded in a year. In our case, since there is semi annual compounding, n = 2.

The rest of the formula can be filled out:

CI = 5000(1 + 0.018/2)^(5x2)

CI = 5000(1.009)^10

CI = 5000(

.: CI ≅ $5468.67

Thus the answer is B.
