Cynthia invested $12,000 in a savings account. If the interest rate is 6%, how much will be in the account in 10 years by compounding continuously? Round to the nearest cent.

Respuesta :

Answer:

In 10 years she'll have approximately $21865.4 in her account.

Step-by-step explanation:

When an amount is compounded continuously its value over time is given by the following expression:

[tex]v(t) = v(0)*e^{rt}[/tex]

Applying data from the problem gives us:

[tex]v(10) = 12000*e^{(0.06*10)}\\v(10) = 12000*e^{0.6}\\v(10) = 21865.4[/tex]

In 10 years she'll have approximately $21865.4 in her account.
