At an annual interest rate of 7%, how many years does it take to quadruple your money?
PV = Present Value = $1
FV = Future Value = $4
r = annual interest rate = 7%
Let n = number of years
FV = PV * (1+r)^n
$4 = $1 * (1+7%)^n
(1.07)^n = 4
n = log(4) / log(1.07)
n = 0.602059991 / 0.0293837777
n = 20.4895367
Therefore, it will take 20.49 years to quadraple the money
