Respuesta :
$10,000 at 7% continuous compounding for 8 years
[tex]10000 e^{0.07 (8)} = 17506.7[/tex]
Answer: A
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula for continuous compound interest:
[tex]a=pe^{rt}[/tex]
where p is the principal, r is the interest rate, and t is the time
We know that 10,000 is the principal, the interest rate is 7%, and the time is 8 years, so we can substitute these values in. First, convert 7% to a decimal by dividing by 100
7/100=0.07
[tex]a=10,000e^{0.07(8)}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers in the exponent
[tex]a=10,000e^{0.56}[/tex]
Multiply
a=17506.725003
Rounded to the nearest cent/hundreth
a=17506.72
So, choice A is correct
