Dtermine the time necessary for $7096.1 to double if invested at interest rate 13.2032% a) compounded annually b) compounded monthly c)compounded daily d) compounded continously
------------------------
Periodic compounding:
A(t) = P(1+ (r/n))^(nt)
a) annually (n=1)
2*7096 = 7096(1 + (0.132032/1))^(1*t)
2 = (1.132032)^t
t*ln(1.132032) = ln2
t = 5.589... years
------------------------
Monthly compounding:
n=12 in the same formula
-----------------------
Daily compounding
n=365 in the same formula
--------------------------
Continuous compounding:
A(t) = Pe^(rt)
2*7096 = 7096 e^(0.132032t)
2 = e^(0.132032t)
0.132032t = ln2
t = 5.2498 years
