    You have a CD that has had a fixed rate of 5% for 18 years? I have a hard time fathoming that.

    If this was a real CD, you should have gotten statements each year from the bank stating the interest for tax purposes. And you can call them any time and ask what has accrued on it. Most places let you check your account online.

    My suspicions are that it's homework.
