How long does it take for an investment to quadruple in value if it is invested at 11% compounded

Mathematics

defon3 years ago
3 0

Let's assume we have $100 and an interest rate of 7%. For the $100 to quadruple it means that the future value would be $400. Thus, because we are talking about compounding daily we will set us the equation as follows:

100 * (1+1.07)x = 400

Then we will take 400 and divide it by 100 getting:

1.07X = 4

Now we have encountered a problem where we do not know exponent, so we will use logarithm to calculate such and transform our equation to: Log1.07(4)=X

Using our calculator we will find that it takes about 20.4895 days to quadruple the money invested under 7% interest rate compounded daily.

2nd: Using the same $100 but with the rate of 5.5% compounded continuously we will be using A=PERT formula

where:

P (principal) is equal to hypothetical $100

E (e) is a mathematical constant, which is approximately 2.718

R (rate) is the interest rate, in our case it is 5.5%

T (time) is the time required for money to grow

A (amount) is the final amount desired, which is 4 times larger of $100, thus $400

We have the following:

400 = 100 * e0.055t

400/100 = e0.055t

4 = e0.055t

Then we will apply natural log to both sides of the equations and get the following:

ln(4) = ln(e0.055t)

Since e is the base of ln(x) the equation simplifies to:

ln(4) = 0.055t

Using the calculator to find ln(4) we are getting:

1.38629 = 0.055t

Lastly find t

t = 1.38629/0.055

t = 25.20535202

Plug the answers back to the original equation to verify the answers.

1st part of the question answer: t = 20.4895

2nd part of the question answer: t = 25.20535202

Question 22 Petrolyn motor oil is a combination of natural oil and synthetic oil. It contains 8 liters of natural oil for every
Setler [38]

Answer:

897 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

The motor oil is composed of 8 liters of natural oil and 5 liters of synthetic oil. This means there is a ratio of 8/5. We have 552 liters of natural oil to y liters of synthetic. This is the ratio 552/y. Create a proportion that compares the two ratios.

\frac{8}{5}=\frac{552}{y}

Solve by cross multiplying.

8y = 5(552)

8y = 2,760

y= 345

345 liters of synthetic oil.

Together 552+345= 897 liters of motor oil.
