Answer 1

~9.6 years it will be worth 3.23 mil.

Explanation:

This problem requires use of the growth formula.

PART 1:

Equation:

`3,230,000 = 850,000 * (1.15)^6`

By solving this you get:

A valuation of $1,966,101.65078125 after 6 years

PART 2:

Equation:

`3,230,000 = 850,000*(1+.15)^x`

By solving this (which im too lazy to show the steps for) you get:

x = years

x = ~9.6 years / 9.55196417 years
