    a. $32,800

    b. $37,019

    c. $37,460

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of Total Amount Withdrawn by Alan when simple interest is shown below:-

    Accumulated amount of money = Invested amount + (Rate of interest * Number of years)

    = $20,000 + ($20,000 * 8% * 8)

    = $32,800

    b. The computation of Total Amount Withdrawn by Alan when annually Compounded is shown below:-

    Accumulated amount of money = Invested amount * (1 + rate of interest) ^Number of years

    = $20,000 * (1 + 0.08) ^8

    = $20,000 * 1.85093

    = $37,019

    c. The computation of Total Amount Withdrawn by Alan when semi annually Compounded is shown below:-

    Accumulated amount of money = Invested amount * (1 + rate of interest * Number of years : 200) ^16)

    = ($20,000 * (1 + 0.08 * 8 : 200) ^16)

    = $20,000 * 1.87298

    = $37,460

    Therefore we have applied the above formulas.
