Answer:
The investment of $1000 that yields 12% interest per year would become $2000 in 6 years' time as shown by the calculation below
Explanation:
In determining the how long it would take for the investment to become $2000, the future value formula stated below is used.
FV=PV*(1+r)^N
FV is the $2000
PV, present value is $1000
r is the rate of return at 12%
2000=1000*(1+0.12)^N
2000/1000=1.12^N
2=1.12^N
by taking log of both sides the equation becomes
ln 2=N ln 1.12
N= ln 2/ln 1.12
N=6.116255374
approximately N is 6 years
