Answer:
(a) The future value after 9 years is $7142.49.
(b) The effective rate is
.
(c) The time to reach $13,000 is 21.88 years.
Step-by-step explanation:
The definition of Continuous Compounding is
If a deposit of
dollars is invested at a rate of interest
compounded continuously for
years, the compound amount is

(a) From the information given



Applying the above formula we get that

The future value after 9 years is $7142.49.
(b) The effective rate is given by

Therefore,

(c) To find the time to reach $13,000, we must solve the equation


Answer: It may or may not be B.
You have to switch the 8 to the left and the y to the right which would change the equation to 9-8=y
y=1
R/6=14
multiply each side by 6 and you get
r=14×6
r=84
