    The number of years is 7

    Explanation:

    The future value formula can be used in order to arrive the number of years it took the land to appreciate to $46,400 from the initial amount of $28500.

    The formula is given below:

    FV=PV * (1+r) ^N

    FV is the future value of $46,400

    PV is the original purchase price of $28500

    r is the rate of return of 6.9%=0.069

    46400=28500 * (1+0.069) ^N

    divide both sides by 28500

    46400/28500 = (1.069) ^N

    1.628070175 = (1.069) ^N

    taking log of both sides we have

    ln 1.628070175 = N ln 1.069

    N=ln (1.628070175) / ln (1.069)

    N=7.305

    N is approximately 7 years
