1) An $1,000 investment is made in a trust fund at an annual percentage rate of 12%, compounded monthly. How long will it take the investment to reach $2,000?

2) If a $100 deposit is made at a bank that pays 12% per year, compounded annually, determine how long it will take for the investment to reach $2000.

3) Kelly invests $5000 with a bank. The value of her investment can be determined using the formula Y=5000 (1.06) ^t, where y is the value of the investment at time t, in years. Approximately how many years will it take for Kelly's investment to reach $20,000?

4) $2000 is invested at 5% per year, compounded semi-annually. How long will it take for the investment to triple in value?

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Using the compound interest formula Accrued Amount = P (1 + r/n) ^ (nt)

    where Accrued amount (A) is the expected future balance

    A = $8000

    P = principal; $5000

    r = 1.4% = 0.014

    t = number of years

    n = number of times interest is compounded = 12 for monthly

    Therefore

    8000 = 5000 (1 + 0.014/12) ^ (12t)

    Therefore

    (1.001167) ^12t = 8000/5000

    (1.001167) ^12t = 1.6

    finding the log of both sides

    12t x log 1.001167 = log 1.6

    12t = log 1.6 / log 1.001167

    12t = 402.98

    t = 402.98/12

    t = 33.58

    hence time to increase the balance is 33 years, 7 months
