Suppose you invest $300 at annual interest rate of 4.5% compounded continuously.
How much will you have in the account after 7.5 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$420.43[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

[tex]A=P(e)^{rt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

[tex]t=7.5\ years\\ P=\$300\\ r=0.045[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]A=300(e)^{0.045*7.5}[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$420.43[/tex]
