Dominic is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 4.6% compounded continuously. How much would Dominic need to invest, to the nearest dollar, for the value of the account to reach $84,000 in 5 years

Respuesta :

Answer: $66,740.82

Explanation:

Formula to find the accumulated amount if compounded continuously :

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex], where P= principal invest

t = time

r= rate of interest.

Given : A= $84,000 , r= 4.6% = 0.046 ,  t=5 years

[tex]84000=P e^{0.046\times5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ 84000=P (1.2586)\\\\\Rightarrow\ P=\dfrac{84000}{1.2586}\approx66740.82[/tex]

Hence, the amount need to invest = $66,740.82
