You want to invest an amount of money today and receive back twice that amount in the future. You expect to earn 6 percent interest. Approximately how long must you wait for your investment to double in value?

Respuesta :

Answer:

12 years

Explanation:

The computation of the number of years is shown below:

Future value = Present value × (1 + rate)^number of years

where,

Present value = $100

Rate of interest = 6%

The future value = $200

$200 = $100 × (1 + 0.06)^number of years

2 =  (1 + 0.06)^number of years

So after solving this, the number of years is 12 years
