A money market fund has a continuous flow of money at a rate of f(t)=1500-60t^2, reaching 0 in 5 years Find the present value of this flow if interest is 5% compounded continuously. I don't understand the information which is "reaching 0 in 5 years". Can anyone help me please!!! Really thank you!

what is 60 * 5 * 5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what math symbol do you need to user love?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

f (5) = 0.

Can I use the formula of Present value which is: \[\int\limits_{0}^{5}(1500-60t ^{2}).e ^{^{-0.05t}}.dt\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Does it make sense here?

OpenStudy (irishboy123):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh thank you :)

what answer did you get? i didn't know the formula existed so i made my own and got 4570.9. don't worry if you are too busy. your formula is on a lot of websites and it seems that that is what people use.
