To calculate how many years (n) an investment (P) must be kept in an account that earns interest at i%, in order to triple in amount, which of the following expressions should be used? (a) n = -P + F(P/F, i%, n) (b) n = [log (F/P)]/[log (1+ i%)] (c) n = [ In(– P +F)]/[In i%] (d) n = -F(1 + i%)P

If an investment of $2,000 grew to $2,520 in three periods, what is the interest rate at which the investment grew? Solve using both present and future value tables.
All other things being equal, the numerical difference between a present and a future value corresponds to the amount of interest earned during the deposit or investment period. Each line on the following graph corresponds to an interest rate: 0%, 8%, or 16%. Identify the interest rate that corresponds with each line. VALUE (Dollars) Line A: 01 2 3 4 5 Line B: 6 B Line C: C 7 8 9 10 TIME (Years) Investments and loans base their interest calculations on one of two possible methods: the interest and the interest methods. Both methods apply three variables-the amount of principal, the interest rate, and the investment or deposit period to the amount deposited or invested in order to compute the amount of interest. However, the two methods differ in their relationship between the variables.
Compute the following with the data provided: (Show sufficient work with formulas used and all the steps involved ) A=$12, 500.00 per Quarter r=7.5% N=12 years Present Worth if the interest is compounded monthly? Future Value if the interest is compounded Quarterly: Present Worth if the interest is compounded continuously?

Suppose you knew of an investment that went from $1,000 to $8,000 in 24 years. Using the table below, without using a calculator, find what the approximate annual rate was. % Interest Rate (%) Doubling Time (Years) 4 17.67 5 14.21 6 11.90 7 10.24 8 9.01 9 8.04 10 7.27 15 4.96 20 3.80
Example 1. Compound interest When interest is compounded continuously, the rate of change of the amount x of the investment is proportional to the amount present. In this case, the proportionality constant is the annual interest rate r (as a decimal); that is, dx/dt = rx. (a) If $2000 is invested at 8%, compounded continuously, find an equation for the future value of the investment as a function of time t, in years. (b) How long will it take for the investment to double? (c) What will be the future value of this investment after 35 years?
