If $300 is invested at a 4% interest rate, how much compound interest will be earned in 4 years?
(Round to the nearest cent and do not enter the dollar sign)
Exactly how many quarters will it take to double:
$40 at 1% per quarter
(Round to two decimal places)
1. Invested Amount= $300
Interest rate = 4%
Time= 4 years
Compound Interest= ?
=351 ANS
2. Time= ?
Future value= double of $40= $80 (FV)
Present value= $40 (PV)
Rate of interest per quarter is 1% (r)
Taking log with base 10 on both sides
Value of log 2 base 10= 0.30103
Value of log 1.01 base 10= 0.004321374
On substituting the value
0.30103= n*0.004321374
n=69.66 quarters ANS
