– 7% compounded semi annually works out to 3.5% every 6 months.

– 15 years of semi annual interest payments is 15*2=30 compoundings.

– Initial money M * (1 + semi-annual interest)^number of compoundings = 24,000.

Initial money M * (1.035)^30 = 24,000

Initial money M = 24000 / ((1.035)^30)

M = 24000 / 2.8068

M = $8,550.66

$8,550.66 should be invested today.
