Solution
1.We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.
950,000=142673(1.09)^n
(950,000/142673)=(1.09)^n
Taking log on both sides;
log(950,000/142673)=n*log 1.09
n=log(950,000/142673)/log 1.09
=22 years(Approx).
2.
950000=217716(1+r/100)^13
(950000/217716)=(1+r/100)^13
(1+r/100)=(950000/217716)^(1/13)
(1+r/100)=1.12
r=(1.12-1)*100
=12%
