The general formula for compound interest is A(t)=P(1+(r/n))^(nt) where A(t) is the amount in the account after t years, P is the principal amount--the amount initially invested (=A(0)), r is the annual interest rate, and n is the number of times per year the interest is compounded (that is, the number of times per year the earned interest is added to the interest bearing amount),
There are 52 weeks in a year, so if the interest is compounded bi-weekly (every 2 weeks), then n=26, t=18, P=1000, and r=0.07.
