If $15,000 is deposited in an account paying 1.5% interest per year, compounded continuously, how long will it take for the balance to reach $20,000?

so time require is 19.01 year

Explanation:

given data

deposited = $15,000

interest per year = 1.5% = 0.015

future value = $20,000

solution

we apply here compounded continuously formula that is

future value =  principal ×   ...................1

put here value and we get

$20,000 = $15,000  ×

= 1.33

take ln both side

0.015 t = ln ( 1.33)

t = 19.0119 year

answer; manager working long hours; plz check i believe this is correct good luck;

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
