Question

1. Find the present value of $5000 to be received in 2 years if the money can be invested at 12%

interest rate compounded continuously.(1 Point)
$6272
O $6365.75
$6356.25

Answer 1

The present value of $5000 to be received in 2 years at a 12% interest rate compounded continuously is $6356.25. This can be calculated by using the formula PV = FV/(1 + r)^t, where PV is the present value, FV is the future value, r is the interest rate, and t is the time period. Therefore, PV = 5000/(1 + 0.12)^2 = $6356.25.

Answer 2

• C) $6356.25

------------------------------

Use the continuous compound equation:

• A = Pe^(rt), where A - future value, P - present value, r - annual interest rate, t - number of years

Substitute and calculate:

• A = 5000*e^(0.12*2) = 6356.25 (rounded)

The matching choice is C.
