If you have $5,000, how long does it take to quadruple your money if you can invest it at 6% compounded daily?
=============
Using 365 days per year:
---
FV = PV*(1 + 0.06/365)^d (d = # of days)
FV = 4*PV
(1 + 0.06/365)^d = 4
d*log(1 + 0.06/365)) = log(4)
d = 8434 days
------------
=~ 23.107 years
=======================
The amount is not relevant. Any amount will be 4x.
