rate of 6% compounded annually, how many years will it take for the reserve of
$100,000 to accumulate to $200,000? - Answer 12 years (Use the relationship
between future value and present value to solve for the number of time periods.
FVt = PV x (1 + r)^t
$200,000 = $100,000 x (1 + 6%)^t
$200,000/$100,000 = (1.06)^t
2.00 = (1.06)^t
The number of time periods can be approximated using the future value table. With
an interest rate of 6%, it will take 12 years to accumulate to a sum of $200,000 (or
2.01220).)
