Finding present value in Exercise, determine the principal P that must be invested at interest rate r, compounded continously, so that $1,000,000 will be available for retirement in t years.
r = 10%, t = 25

Respuesta :

Answer:

The principal amount is approximately 92296$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Amount = $1,000,000

t = 25 years

r = 10%

The principal amount is compounded annually continuously.

Formula:

[tex]A = P(1+r)^t[/tex]

Putting all the values, we get

[tex]1000000 = P(1+\displaystyle\frac{10}{100})^{25}\\\\1000000=P(\frac{11}{10})^{25}\\\\ P = 1000000\times (\frac{11}{10})^{-25}\\\\P = 92295.9981 \approx 92296\$[/tex]

Thus, the principal amount is approximately 92296$.
