You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Dreyfus stocks have returned an average of 14.9% per year for the past 50 years. Use the following investment formula to determine the amount invested today for Dreyfus’ stock that would be worth $1,000,000 in 50 years. -----------------------
 A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
 10^6 = P(1+(0.149/1)^(1*50)
 10^6 = P(1037.53)
 P = $963.83
