Answer:
The interest rate is 7.58%
Step-by-step explanation:
Compound continuous interest can be calculated using the formula:
A = P, where
- A is the future value of the investment, including interest
- P is the principal investment amount (the initial amount)
- r is the interest rate in decimal
- t is the time the money is invested for
∵ Angus has $3,000 he want to invest
∴ P = 3000
∵ The interest rate is compounded continuously
∵ Angus has $5,500 in 8 years
∴ A = 5500
∴ t = 8
→ Substitute them in the rule above to find r
∵ 5500 = 3000
→ Divide both sides by 3000
∴ =
→ Insert ㏑ in both sides
∵ ㏑( ) = ㏑(
)
→ Remember ㏑() = n
∴ ㏑( ) = 8r
→ Divide both sides by 8
∴ 0.07576697545 = r
→ Multiply it by 100% to change it to a percentage
∴ r = 0.07576697545 × 100%
∴ r = 7.576697545 %
→ Round it to the nearest hundredth
∴ r ≅ 7.58
∴ The interest rate is 7.58%
Answer:
$ 1,060.00
Step-by-step explanation:
A = $ 1,060.00
A = P + I where
P (principal) = $ 1,000.00
I (interest) = $ 60.00
Compound Interest Equation
A = P(1 + r/n)^nt
Where:
A = Accrued Amount (principal + interest)
P = Principal Amount
I = Interest Amount
R = Annual Nominal Interest Rate in percent
r = Annual Nominal Interest Rate as a decimal
r = R/100
t = Time Involved in years, 0.5 years is calculated as 6 months, etc.
n = number of compounding periods per unit t; at the END of each period
