Solve for the unknown number of years in each of the following: (Do not roundintermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Present Value Years Interest Rate Future Value
$ 300 10 % $ 1,155
1,991 8 3,750
32,905 13 387,620
32,600 20 199,724

Answer:

 

Present Value Years Interest Rate Future Value
  $ 300     14.14     10 %     $ 1,155  
    1,991     8.23     8         3,750  
    32,905     20.18     13         387,620  
    32,600     9.94     20         199,724  
 

 

 

In this sum we have been provided with the prasent value,interest rate and future value what we need is to calculate the period

 

FV = PV(1 + r)t
 
Solving for t, we get:
t = ln(FV / PV) / ln(1 + r)

 

FV = $1,155 = $ 300(1.10)t

t = ln($1,155/ $300) / ln(1.10)

Solving this equation we will get

Time =14.14 years

 

 

FV = $3750 = $ 1991(1.08)t

t = ln($3750/1991) / ln(1.08)

Solving this equation we will get

Time =8.23 years

 

FV = $387620 = $ 32905(1.13)t

t = ln($387620/329056) / ln(1.13)

Solving this equation we will get

Time =20.18 years

 

 

FV = $199724 = $ 32600(1.20)t

t = ln($199724/32600) / ln(1.20)

Solving this equation we will get

Time =9.94 years
