An amount of $50,000.00 is deposited in a bank paying an annual interest rate of 3.75%, compounded continuously. What is the balance after 5 years?

We're using

 

A = Pe^(r*t)

 

Where A  is the final amount

P is the amount invested

r is the interest rate expressed as a decimal  = .0375

t is the time in years = 5

 

So we have

 

A = 50000e^(.0375 * 5)  = about $ 60311.51

 

 

cool cool cool
