Answer:

Number of year to get $10,000 as interest = 7.5 year (Approx)

Number of year to get $10,000 as interest:

Computation:

[tex]Interest\ on\ investment = Initial\ investment[(1+r)^n-1]\\\\10,000 = 20,000[(1+0.056)-1]\\\\0.5=(1.056)^n-1\\\\1.5 =(1.056)^n\\\\n=7.44[/tex]

Number of year to get $10,000 as interest = 7.44

Number of year to get $10,000 as interest = 7.5 year (Approx)
