Suppose you are planning to invest a sum of money. Estimate the rate that you need so that your investment doubles in 10 years.
The Rate = ____%
**
A=P(1+r)^n, P=initial investment, r=interest rate per period, A=amount after n-years
Since you want the investment to double, A/P=2, so the formula becomes:
2=(1+r)^10
raise both sides to 1/10 power
1.0718=1+r
r=1.0718-1=.0718
Ans:
The rate that you need so that your investment doubles in 10 years=7.18%
