Loan amount = 5000
Interest rate annual is 9% compounded monthly.So monthly rate = 9%/12= 0.0075

Semiannual rate = ( (1+monthly rate)^no. of months in semiannual year) -1

((1+0.0075)^6)-1= 0.0458522351
Total semiannual periods = 5

Equal annual payments for loan formula = P* i *((1+i)^n)/((1+i)^n-1)

5000*0.0458522351*((1+0.0458522351)^5)/(((1+0.0458522351)^5)-1)

$1,141.66

So, interest and principal payment is calculated in following amortization table.
