Question

How much money will be accrued after 3 years if a principal investment of $820 is compounded continuously at 5%?

Answer 1

Total = Principal * e ^ (rate * years)
where "e" is the mathematical constant = 2.718281828459 ...
Total = $820.00 *  2.718281828459 ^ (.05 * 3)
Total = $820.00 * 1.1618342427
Total = 952.70
