How much would $500 invested at 5% interest compounded continuously be worth after 8 years

Respuesta :

For continuous interest,

Future value = Pe^(rt)

P=present value = $500

e=napien constant=2.7182818284

t=time in years = 8 years

r=annual interest = 0.05


Future value

=500(e^(0.05*8))

=500e^0.4

=745.91 (to the nearest cent)
