Suppose that P, is invested in a savings account where interest is compounded continuously at 6% per year.
When will the investment double itself?


Answer :

Answer:

We'll need the attached equation.

We'll use as an example that principal = 100 and total =200.

Years = ln (total/principal)   /  rate

where "ln" means natural log

Years = ln (200/100) / .06

Years = ln (2) / .06

Years = 0.69314718056 / .06

Years = 11.5524530093
