Answer:

$12,300

Explanation:

I will assume that Joseph invested in the fund on July 14, 2013.

We have to calculate the future value to March 15, 2014 (8 months later).

since the interest is compounded semi annually, it will earn interest on January  14, 2014.

Future value = $12,000 x (1 + 2.5%) = $12,300

since the fund is going to earn interests again on July 14, 2014, the value on march 14 is the same = $12,300
