- An investment account was opened with aninitial deposit of 9,600 and earns 7.4 interest,compounded continuously. How much will theaccount be worth after 15 years?arrow_forwardSuppose an investment account is opened with aninitial deposit of 10,500 earning 6.25 interest,compounded continuously. How much will theaccount be warm after 25 years?arrow_forwardThe population, P, of raccoons in a region is modelled by the exponential relation P = Po(2)*/20 , where t is the time in years and Po is the initial population. If there are 300 raccoons in the region today, approximately how many raccoons will there be in six years?arrow_forward
- A savings account with an interest rate r, which is compounded n times per year, and begins with P as the principal (initial amount), has the discrete nt compounding formula A (t) = P(1+)". This is n because we multiply the amount by itself plus a small amount, determined by the interest rate, and the account grows each time the compounding occurs. For continuous compounding, we use the formula A (t) = Pert , and if we have seen this formula before, we may not have gotten a satisfactory answer as to why we use it, other than some vague notion of "compounding infinity times per year". In this exercise, we'll use Bernoulli's Rule to find the connection. It might be helpful to review the "Indeterminate Powers" section of the video before beginning.

- The time, t, in years for an amount increasing at a rate of r (in decimal form) to In 2 This is called the doubling time. Find the doubling time to the nearest tenth for an investment at an interest rate of 7% = 0.07. double is given by t = In (1+r) The doubling time is years. (Round to the nearest tenth of a year.)arrow_forwardSuppose that an amount of 10,000 dollars is invested at an annual interest rate of r% compounded continuously for t years. Then the balance at the end of t years is given by f(t,r)=10,000e0.01rt. (a) f:(5, 3)= (Round to an integer.) This number means that, when $10,000 is invested for years at an annual interest rate of % compounded monthly, if the time increases by 1 year and the annual interest rate remains constant at % , then the balance in the fund --Select--- v by approximately $ (b) f,(5, 3)= 205 monthly, if the annual interest rate increases by 1 percent and the time remains constant at 30 (Round to an integer.) This number means that, when $10,000 is invested for 50 X years at an annual interest rate of 30 X % compounded x years, then the balance in the fund increases v by approximately $ 205arrow_forwardAn investment will generate income continuously at the constant rate of $1000 per year for 6 years. If the prevailing annual interest rate remains fixed at 7% compounded continuously, what is the present value of the investment? c tooo.arrow_forward
- Present value is the amount of money that must be invested now at a given rate of interest to produce a given future value. For a 1-year investment, the present value can be calculated using Present value = Future value 1 + r , where r is the yearly interest rate expressed as a decimal. (Thus, if the yearly interest rate is 8%, then 1 + r = 1.08.) If an investment yielding a yearly interest rate of 13% is available, what is the present value of an investment that will be worth $4000 at the end of 1 year? That is, how much must be invested today at 13% in order for the investment to have a value of $4000 at the end of a year? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardA colony of rats is transplanted into an island environment by stowing away on a cargoship. The initial population is 250 and it grows with a doubling time of 8 months. Assumingthat the growth rate stays constant, what will the population be in 5 years?arrow_forwardAn investor purchased a piece of waterfront property. Because of the development of a marina in the vicinity, the market value of the property is expected to increase according to the rule V(t) = 50,000e♥ where V(t) is measured in dollars and t is the time (in years) from the present. If the rate of appreciation is expected to be 4%/year compounded continuously for the next 8 years, find an expression for the present value P(t) of the property's market price valid for the next 8 years. P(t) = What is P(t) expected to be in 2 years? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $arrow_forward
