If you can invest the money in a bond that pays 4.03 percent interest annually, how long will it be before your inheritance is worth $1 million? (If you solve this problem with algebra round intermediate calculations to 5 decimal places, in all cases round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 8.72.)
Inheritance will be worth $1 million in | years |
Present value (PV)= $590,000
Future value (FV)= $1,000,000
