<PRE><B>Question 408870</B>
If you desire your investment to double in five years, what rate of interest compounded continuously should i seek?
------------
Solve (1+x)^5 = 2 where x is the annual rate
----
1+x = 2^(1/5)
---
1+x = 1.1487..
x = 0.1487...
---
The rate of interest must be at least 14.87%
