Analyse the given information Since the interest is compounded continuously, the Principal will increase exponentially. The amount after t years is given by $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({t}\right)}={P}{e}^{{{r}{t}}}$$ It is given that the initial investment,$$\displaystyle{P}=\{2000}$$ and the interest rate per year,$$\displaystyle{r}={4.5}\%={0.045}$$ Process: In each part a), b) and c) plug in values of P, r and t in each case to find the value of Amount after a given number of years. To round to nearest cent we need to round answers to two decimals. a) After two years i.e t=2 $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({t}\right)}={P}{e}^{{{r}{t}}}$$ After two years: t=2 $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({2}\right)}={2000}{e}^{{{0.045}{\left({2}\right)}}}$$
$$\displaystyle{A}{\left({2}\right)}={2000}{e}^{{{0.09}}}$$
$$\displaystyle{A}{\left({2}\right)}=\{2188.35}$$ [rounded to two decimals(nearest cent) ] Amount after 2 years is $2188.35 b) After two years i.e t=4 $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({t}\right)}={P}{e}^{{{r}{t}}}$$ After two years: t=4 $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({4}\right)}={2000}{e}^{{{0.045}{\left({4}\right)}}}$$ $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({4}\right)}={2000}{e}^{{{0.18}}}$$ $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({4}\right)}=\{2394.43}$$ [rounded to two decimals(nearest cent) ] Amount after 4 years is$2394.43 c) After twelve years i.e t=12 $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({t}\right)}={P}{e}^{{{r}{t}}}$$ After two years: t=12 $$\displaystyle{A}{\left({12}\right)}={2000}{e}^{{{0.045}{\left({12}\right)}}}$$
$$\displaystyle{A}{\left({12}\right)}={2000}{e}^{{{0.54}}}$$
$$\displaystyle{A}{\left({12}\right)}=\{3432.01}$$ [rounded to two decimals(nearest cent)] Amount after 12 years is $3432.01 ### Relevant Questions asked 2020-11-08 Find the future value of an annuity of$ 1300 paid at the end of each year for 10 years, if interest is earned at a rate of $$7\%,$$ compounded annually.

Suppose $10,000 is invested at an annual rate of $$\displaystyle{2.4}\%$$ for 10 years. Find the future value if interest is compounded as follows asked 2021-01-31 factor in determining the usefulness of an examination as a measure of demonstrated ability is the amount of spread that occurs in the grades. If the spread or variation of examination scores is very small, it usually means that the examination was either too hard or too easy. However, if the variance of scores is moderately large, then there is a definite difference in scores between "better," "average," and "poorer" students. A group of attorneys in a Midwest state has been given the task of making up this year's bar examination for the state. The examination has 500 total possible points, and from the history of past examinations, it is known that a standard deviation of around 60 points is desirable. Of course, too large or too small a standard deviation is not good. The attorneys want to test their examination to see how good it is. A preliminary version of the examination (with slight modifications to protect the integrity of the real examination) is given to a random sample of 20 newly graduated law students. Their scores give a sample standard deviation of 70 points. Using a 0.01 level of significance, test the claim that the population standard deviation for the new examination is 60 against the claim that the population standard deviation is different from 60. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. $$H_{0}:\sigma=60,\ H_{1}:\sigma\ <\ 60H_{0}:\sigma\ >\ 60,\ H_{1}:\sigma=60H_{0}:\sigma=60,\ H_{1}:\sigma\ >\ 60H_{0}:\sigma=60,\ H_{1}:\sigma\ \neq\ 60$$ (b) Find the value of the chi-square statistic for the sample. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What are the degrees of freedom? What assumptions are you making about the original distribution?

We assume a normal population distribution.We assume a uniform population distribution. asked 2020-11-26 The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your wine now, at a price of$P a bottle, or to sell it later at a higher price. Suppose you know that the amount a wine-drinker is willing to pay for a bottle of this wine t years from now is \$P(1+20?t). Assuming continuous compounding and a prevailing interest rate of 5% per year, when is the best time to sell your wine?
