How much would $500 invested at 8% interest compounded continuously be
worth after 3 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent.​

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\$635.62[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate continuously compounded interest is equal to

[tex]A=P(e)^{rt}[/tex]  

where  

A is the Final Investment Value  

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested  

r is the rate of interest in decimal  

t is Number of Time Periods  

e is the mathematical constant number

we have  

[tex]t=3\ years\\ P=\$500\\ r=0.08[/tex]  

substitute in the formula above  

[tex]A=\$500(e)^{0.08*3}[/tex]  

[tex]A=\$635.62[/tex]
