2. If you invest $1 now at interest rate of 10%, how much would it be in 174 years?
Solution
Simple interest, r = 10? = 0.1
Time, T = 174 years
Principal, P = $1
Therefore, after 174 years interest on $1 = PrT = $(1*0.1 * 174) = $ 17.4
The value of $1 after 174 years will be = Principal + Simple interest = $(1 + 17.4) = $18.4
