Answer:

It'll take 38.3 years to obtain the desired return of $25,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve a continuosly coumponded interest question we need to apply the correct formula that is given bellow:

M = C*e^(r*t)

Where M is the final value, C is the initial value, r is the interest rate and t is the time at which the money was applied. Since he wants an return of $25,000 his final value must be the sum of the initial value with the desired return. So we have:

(25000 + 8000) = 8000*e^(0.037*t)

33000 = 8000*e^(0.037*t)

e^(0.037*t) = 33000/8000

e^(0.037*t) = 4.125

ln[e^(0.037*t)] = ln(4.125)

t = ln(4.125)/(0.037)

t = 1.4171/0.037 = 38.2991

t = 38.3 years
