Answer:
It will take 27.56 years to gain $196,000.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= $196,000
Present value (PV)= $46,000
Interest rate= 5.4% = 0.054
<u>To calculate the time required to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:</u>
n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)
n= ln(196,000/46,000) / ln(1.054)
n= 27.56
It will take 27.56 years to gain $196,000.
Answer:
Investment period = 24 years
Explanation:
The total amount that an investment made today would become if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.
The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)
(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375
(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504
find the log of both sides
n log 1.06= log 4.048924504
n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06
n = 24
It will take 24 years
