Question

If $396 is invested at an interest rate of 13% per year and is compounded continuously, how much will the investment be worth in 3 years?

Answer 1

so
396*0.13=51.48
51.48*3=154.44x100
154.44 divided by 100 100% because % so u need to put100%
154.44/100=1.5444
so the answer is 1.5444


hope it's the best answer

Answer 2

`\$584.88`

Explanation:

we know that

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

`A=P(e)^(rt)`

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest in decimal

t is Number of Time Periods

e is the mathematical constant number

we have

`t=3\ years\\ P=\$396\\ r=0.13`

substitute in the formula above

`A=\$396(e)^(0.13*3)=\$584.88`
