Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the continuous compounding formula is f = p * e ^ (r * t).
f is the future value.
p is the present value.
r is the interest rate per time period.
t is the number of time periods.
e is the scientific constant of 2.718281828.
in your problem, .....
p is 700.
r = 6% = .06 per year.
t = 4 yers.
the formula becomes f = 700 * e ^ (.06 * 4).
solve for f to get f = 889.8744052.
if you don't have the constant e in your calculator, then f = 700 * 2.718281828 ^ (.06 * 4) = the same.
