Suppose that $2600 is initially invested in an account with an APR of 3.3% compounded continuously.
Value after 10 years::
A(10) = 2600*e^(0.033*10) = 2600*1.39 = $3616.52
-------------
What is the percent change over 10 years for this account?
Change:: 3616.52-2600 = 1016.52
Percent Change:: 1016.52/3616.52 = 0.2811 = 28.11%
