John has won the mega-bucks lottery, which pays $1, 000, 000. Suppose he deposits the money in a savings account that pays an annual interest of 8% compounded continuously. How long will this money last if he makes annual withdrawals of $100, 000?

Respuesta :

Answer:20.91

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Principal amount invested=[tex]\$ 1,000,000[/tex]

Rate of interest=8%

Annual Withdrawl=[tex]\$ 100,000[/tex]

compound interest is given by

A=[tex]\left (1+ \frac{r}{100}\right )^t[/tex]

Therefore reamining Amount after certain years

Net money will become zero after t year

[tex]1,000,000\left (1+ \frac{8}{100} \right )^t - 100,000\left ( \frac{\left ( 1.08\right )^{t}-1}{0.08}\right )[/tex]=0

[tex]0.8\left ( 1.08\right )^t=\left ( 1.08\right )^{t}-1[/tex]

t=20.91 years
