Recently, a certain bank offered a 5-year CD that earns 3.26% compounded continuously. Use the given information to answer the questions. (a) If $30,000 is invested in this CD, how much will it be worth in 5 years?(Round to the nearest cent.)
(b) How long will it take for the account to be worth $45,000?(Round to two decimal places as needed)

a. The CD will worth $35,311 in five years.

b. It will take 12.44 years for the account to be worth $45,000.

Explanation:

a) If $30,000 is invested in this CD, how much will it be worth in 5 years?(Round to the nearest cent.)

This can be determined using the formula for calculating the future value (FV) compounding formula as follows:

FV = PV * e^(rn) (1)

FV = Future value in five years = ?

PV = Present value of amount invested = $30,000

e = Mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183

r = Interest rate = 3.26%, or 0.0326

n = number of years = 5

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $30,000 * 2.7183^(0.0326 * 5)

FV= $35,311

Therefore, the CD will worth $35,311 in five years.

(b) How long will it take for the account to be worth $45,000?(Round to two decimal places as needed)

Also, using equation (1) part a, we have:

FV = Future value in n years = $45,000

PV = Present value of amount invested = $30,000

e = Mathematical constant approximated as 2.7183

r = Interest rate = 3.26%, or 0.0326

n = number of years it will take to have $45,000 = ?

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

$45,000 = $30,000 * 2.7183^(0.0326 * n)

$45,000 / $30,000 = 2.7183^(0.0326 * n)

1.50 = 2.7183^(0.0326 * n)

Loglinearise both sides and solve for n, we have:

Log(1.50) = (0.0326 * n)Log(2.7183)

0.176091259055681 = 0.0326 * n * 0.434297385124509

0.176091259055681 = n * 0.014158094755059

n = 0.176091259055681 / 0.014158094755059

n = 12.44 years

Therefore, it will take 12.44 years for the account to be worth $45,000.

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
