Continuous compounding  formula

 

A = P * e^(r * t)

 

7130.90    =  5000 * e^( r * 5)

 

(7130.90  /  5000)  =  e^( 5r)       take the  Ln  of  both  sides

 

Ln  ( 7130.90  / 5000)  = Ln e^(5r)       and we  can write

 

Ln ( 7130.90  / 5000) =  5r

 

Ln (7130.90 / 5000)   / 5   = r  ≈  7.1%

Hey there, Guest!

 

Let's solve your question:

 

7130.90-5000= 2130.9

 

2130.9/5= $426.18

 

I'm 99% sure that that's your answer.

 

Hope this helped! :)
