Assuming Continuous Compounding?

Assume $4,000 is invested in the bank now at an annual interest rate of 3%. Find the amount of money that you will have if the money is left in the bank for 6 years and there is continuous compounding.



Assuming Continuous Compounding?car loan





use this equation...



a=Pe^rn



where, a=amount after years



P=principal invested



e=value which is equal to 2.718



r=rate of interest



n=no. of years



using this equation, we%26#039;ll have...



a=($4,000)(2.718)^(0.03)(6)



a=($4,000)(2.718)^0.18



a=($4,000)(1.197)



a=$4,788.78



this is the amount compounded. $4,788.78



hope i helped....=)

loan



x=$4000*e^.03*6=$4000*e^.18=$4788.87|||use Pe^rt



Just input 4000 as P, the rate as r, and t as the time in years plug it into a calc and voila.|||Cud solve this using exp() function of Microsoft Excel.



keying in =4000*exp(.03*6) and pressing enter u will get



4788.8695
