Using the compound interest formula A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years, we can solve for t when A = 4000, P = 2000, r = 0.06, and n = 1. Plugging these values in, we get:

4000 = 2000(1 + 0.06/1)^(1t) 2 = (1 + 0.06/1)^(1t) 2 = (1.06)^t

Taking the logarithm of both sides, we can solve for t: log 2 = t log 1.06 t = log 2 / log 1.06

Using a calculator, we find that t is approximately 11.90. Therefore, it would take approximately 12 years to double the initial amount of 2000 at a 6 percent interest rate compounded annually.

No.


How many years will it take for an investment to double if the interest rate is 8 percent per year compounded annually?

11 years


Is it true that it will take money in savings 14.2 years to double at 5 percent interest compounded annually?

Yes, that's an accurate number.


How long would it take 100 to double 5 percent?

As a rough guide to double any amount compounded annually, divide 70 by the interest rate. In this case that is 14 years.


In how many years your amount will be double if rate of interest is 10 percent annually in compound interest?

Approximately 7 years. The general rule is to divide 70 by the interest rate to get an approximation of how long it will take to double. If the interest is compounded annual you will have $194.88 after 7 years, and $214.37 after 8 years. Though if interest is compounded more regularly (ie. monthly or daily) this will grow at a slightly faster rate.


How long does an investment earning 9 percent take to double in value?

8.0432 years (rounded) if compounded annually.


How long will money in savings take to double at 5 percent interest compounded annually?

Use the "rule of 72"...simply put, using compound interest you take the number 72 and divide it by the interest rate. Thus, at 5% the time to double is 14.4 years. This formula can be used for calculating a "double" for any interest rate using the same mathematical procedure.

What rate of interest compounded annually is required to double an investment in 21 years?

(2)1/21 = 1.03356 (rounded)That's an annual interest of 3.356 percent.Let's try it:(1.03356)21 = 2.00009 on my calculator, which is pretty close.

Show steps to solving 8000 invested for 7 years at 8 percent compounded annually?

The basic equation for compounded interest is: FV=PV(1+i)^nt FV=future value PV=present value i=interest compounded per term n=number of times compounded per year t=number of years For this situation: FV=? PV=8000 i=.08 n=1 t=7 Plugging the numbers into the equations gives you FV=8000(1+.08)^7 Solving gives you the amount of 13710.59 A way to roughly check your answer is to use the rule of 72. The rule of 72 is a method of seeing how long it would take to double ones money at a certain interest percent. The interest is 8% so divide 72 by 8 and you get 9. So at 8 percent it would take about 9 years to double your money. Since we only had 7 years, it makes sense that we did not double our money, but we fairly close to doing so, meaning that our answer is viable. This is only a way to roughly check the answer.
