How much money will there be in an account at the end of 8 years if $9000
is deposited at a 5.5% annual rate that is compounded continuously?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An account which compounds interest continuously, works according the formula
FV = ,
where FV is a Future value, A is the original deposit value, r is the nominal interest, t is the time, in years;
e is the base of natural logarithme (the Euler number, e = 2.71828...)
In your problem, A = $9000, r = 0.055, t = 8 years. The future value is
FV = = = 13974.36.
ANSWER. $13974.36.
Solved.
