Aaron invested $7,500 in an account paying an interest rate of 1.5% compounded continuously. Assuming no deposits or withdrawals are made, how much money, to the nearest hundred dollars, would be in the account after 8 years?

Respuesta :

Answer:

\text{Compounded Continuously:}

Compounded Continuously:

A=Pe^{rt}

A=Pe

rt

P=7500\hspace{35px}r=0.015\hspace{35px}t=8

P=7500r=0.015t=8

Given values

A=7500e^{0.015(8)}

A=7500e

0.015(8)

Plug in

A=7500e^{0.12}

A=7500e

0.12

Multiply

A=8456.22638685

A=8456.22638685

Use calculator (with e button)

A\approx 8500

A≈8500

Round to nearest hundred dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of money to the nearest hundred dollars that would be in the account after 8 years is  $60,900.

What is the future value of the account?

The formula for calculating future value when there is continuous compounding is : A x e^r x N

Where:

  • A= amount
  • e = 2.7182818
  • N = number of years
  • r = interest rate

7500 x e^0.015 x 8 = $60,900
