Question

After 4 years you have 5300 what is the initial deposit if the account pays 2.5% annual interest compounded continuously

Answer 1

Initial deposit P = 4,801 (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Amount after 4 year = 5,300

Number of year = 4 year

Rate = 2.5% = 0.025

Find:

Initial deposit

Computation:

A = P[1+r]ⁿ

5,300 = P[1+0.025]⁴

5,300 = P[1.025]⁴

5,300 = P[1.1038]

Initial deposit P = 4,801 (Approx.)
