Answer:
Second National Bank
Present value (PV) = $5,400
Future value (FV) = $13,900
Interest rate (r) = 10% = 0.10
FV = PV(1 + r)n
$13,900 = $5,400(1 + 0.10)n
<u>$13,900</u> = (1.10)n
$5,400
2.574074074 = (1.10)n
Log 2.574074074 = n log 1.10
<u>Log 2.574074074</u> = n
Log 1.10
n = 9.9 years
None of the answers is correct
Explanation:
In this case, we will apply the formula of future value of a lump sum. The present value, interest rate and future value were provided with the exception of number of years. Thus, the number of years becomes the subject of the formula. The future value equals present value, multiplied by 1 plus interest rate, raised to power number of years.
