100-0.0124=99.9876

10%=1/10
1/10P=P(0.999876)^t
divide both sides by P
1/10=0.999876^t
take ln of both sides
ln(1/10)=t (ln(0.999876))
divide both sides by (ln(0.999876))
ln(1/10)/(ln(0.999876))=t
use calculator
18568.08=t

Orlando invested $16,000 in an eight-year CD bearing 6.5% simple annual interest, but needed to withdraw $3,500 after five years
baherus [9]

Answer:

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION C.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Orlando had not made his early withdrawal, the amount of money he would have earned is:

F = 0.065($16,000)(8) = $8.320

Given that he withdraw $3500, he now earns:

F1 = (0.065)($16,000)(5) + ($12,500)(0.065)(3)

F1 = $5200 + $2437.5 = $7637.5

And now we have to take into acount the year of penalty, which is one year’s worth of interest on the amount withdrawn.

Penalty= $3500(0.065)(1) = $227.5

So the total money he earns now is: $7637.5 - $227.5 = $7410

Then, the amunt of money he could have earn but he didn't is:

Money = $8.320 - $7410 = $910

Therefore, the correct option is OPTION C.
