A sum of money is invested at 12% compounded quarterly. About how long will it take for the amount of money to double?

Answer:Follow the given formula.  The initial amount of money invested, P, becomes 2P (same thing as "doubles) after t years.  Since compounding is quarterly, n=4.  The annual interest rate is 12%.  That is, r=0.12.

Then we have 2P = P (1 + 0.12/4)^(4t) and need only solve for time, t.

Simplifying the above equation:  2 = (1.03)^(4t)

We must isolate 4t, and then isolate t.  To do this, take the common log of both sides of the above equation.  We get:

log 2 = (4t) log 1.03.  This gives us 4t = [log 2] / [log 1.03], or

4t =  23.4498

Dividing both sides by 4, we get     t = 5.86 (years).
