Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 6 years to receive the $560,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

FV= 560,000

PV= 283,713

Interes rate= 12%

To calculate the number of years, we need to use the following formula:

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)

n= ln(560,000/283,713) / ln(1.12)

n= 6

It will take 6 years to receive the $560,000.
