how long does it take for an amount of money p to double itself if its invested at 6 % interest compounded 2 times a year? round your answer to 2 decimal places. a

Sagot :

It will take 11.60 years for an amount of money p to double itself if its invested at 6 % interest compounded 2 times a year.

For determine the the value of time, use the formula:

compounding formula A = P[(1 + (r/n)]^(n*t)

A = ending amount

P = initial principal

r = interest rate

n = number of times compounded per year

t = time period (years)

According to question, any amount for the initial and ending amount. Let's use $1 for the initial and $2 for the ending.

Given data:

A = 2

P = 1

r = 0.06

n = 6

t = unknown (solve for this)

2 = 1[1 + (.06/6)]^(6t)

2 = 1.01^(6t)

Now we have to use a log to solve for the variable exponent.

log(base1.01)2 = 6t

69.66 = 6t

t = 11.6 years
