A=P(1+r/n)^nt
The problem is Kevin deposits $1000 at 9% annual interest, compounded quarterly. How long will it take for the account to earn $1000 interest?
------------------------
The value of the account will be $2000
--------------------------------------------
2000 = 1000(1+(.09/4)^(4t)
---------------------------------
2 = 1.0225^(4t)
4t = log2/log1.0225
4t = 31.15
t = 7.79 years
=====================
