Given:

$20 invested at 12% compounded continuously for a period of 4 years.

So,

P = 20

r = 12% = 0.12

t = 4 years

We will use the following formula:


A=P*e^(rt)

Substitute with the given data:


A=20*e^(0.12*4)\approx32.321488

Rounding to the nearest cent

So, the answer will be:

After 4 years, the investment = $32.32
