- 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_forwardPresent 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_forwardAn investment will generate income continuously at the constant rate of $1000 per year for 6 years.

- 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.

Last year’s income statement and this year’s expectations indicate that the company has a surplus of cash. You decide to invest $100,000 of this cash in a 5 year CD that compounds monthly. The total amount of the investment after the 5 years is given by: A(r)=100,000(1+ r/12)^60 . where r is the annual interest rate. Assuming that the interest rate is 3% (r = 0.03): 1.
