The expression that can be used to determine the number of years that it would take to have a balance of $600 is In2 ÷ In
e^(0.005).

How long would it take to have a balance of $600?

When an amount is compounded continously, it means that both the amount deposited and the interest already accrued increases in value continously over a period of time.

Time = In(FV/PV) ÷ In(
e^(0.005)

In2 ÷ In
e^(0.005)
