<PRE><B>Question 437539</B>
An economic indicator is increasing at the rate of 7% per year. What is the doubling time? By what factor will the indicator increase in 3 years? 
----
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
---
2P = P(1+ (0.07))^t
---
(1.07)^t = 2
----
t = log(2)/log(1.07)
---
t = 10.245 years
==============================
By what factor will the indicator increase in 3 years? 
Not sure what is meant by that.
