Answer:

$49,553.54

Explanation:

[tex]\sf Continuously \ compound \ interest : {A = P e^{rt}[/tex]

[tex][\sf where \ A \ is \ final \ amount, \ P \ is \ principal \ amount, \ r \ is \ interest \ rate, \ n \ is \ years][/tex]

Here given following:

  • principal amount (P) = $24,000
  • rate of interest (r) = 7.25%
  • years (t) = 10 years

Inserting these values in formula:


[tex]\rightarrow {A = 24000e^{7.25\% (10)}[/tex]

simplify following

[tex]\rightarrow {A = 49553.54[/tex]
