If you deposit money today in an account that pays 4.5% annual interest, how long will it take to
double your money? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Solution
We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value($2x)
P=present value($x say)
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
2x=x(1+4.5/100)^n
2=(1.045)^n
Taking log on both sides;
log 2=n*log(1.045)
n=log 2/log(1.045)
=15.75 years(Approx).
