- The rule of 72 is a handy rule for estimating how long it takes money to double with annual compounding. If r is the annual interest rate(expressed as a decimal then the doubling time is approximately 72/(100r) years. If you express the interest rate as R percent then the doubling time is approximately 72/R years. a. Calculate the balance at the end of the predicted doubling time for each $1000 with annual compounding for the small growth rates of 3 percent, 4 percent and 6 percent.arrow_forwardIf the rate of inflation is 4.6%, what nominal interest rate is necessary for you to earn a 2.2% real interest rate on your investment?
