You invest $350 in an account with a interest rate of 1.2% compounded continuously. How much money would be in the account after 10 years?

Question

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

The formula is 

A = Pe^(rt)

because we're compounding continuously

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

In this case, P = 350, r = 0.012 and t = 10

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

which means...


A = Pe^(rt)


A = 350e^(0.012*10)


I'll let you take over from here

anonymous · Answer

So would a= 395?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

If you're rounding to the nearest dollar, then yes, A = 395


If you're rounding to the nearest cent, then it's A = 394.62
