Answer:

Hence After 2 years from 2009 to 2011 THe price for share of stock will be 5.8141 $

Explanation:

Given:

Initial price=$5.36

Rate=4.15 %

To Find:

Function which represents the growth price for stock market?

Solution:

As the function is growing one and with same rate and depends upon the time period ,

So the exponential function as


P=A(1+R)^t will the required function ,

So P will be price of stock at t time period with R as rate for function.

A be the previous year price

From 2009 to 2013 rate is 4.15 %

we have to find price after 2 years

So t=2 , A at 2009 =5.36$

So P at 2011 will be given by,


P=A(1+R)^t


P=5.36(1+0.0415)^2


P=5.36(1.0415)^2


P=5.8141 $
