Ethan invested $2,400 in an account paying an interest rate of 5 1/4% compounded monthly. Stella invested $2,400 in an account paying an interest rate of 5 3/4% compounded continuously. To the nearest dollar, how much money would Stella have in her account when Ethan's money has doubled in value?

Answer:

  $5136

Step-by-step explanation:

The balance in Ethan's account is multiplied in t years by the factor ...

  (1 +r/12)^(12t) . . . . . where r is the interest rate

We want to find the time t when this factor is 2 and r = 0.0525

  2 = (1 +0.0525/12)^(12t)

  log(2) = 12t·log(1.004375)

  t = log(2)/(12·log(1.004375))

  t ≈ 13.2317 . . . years for Ethan's money to double

__

The value of Stella's account is given by ...

  A = P·e^(rt)

Stella's interest rate r is 0.0575, and we want to use the value of t from above.

  A = 2400(e^(0.0575×13.23167)) ≈ 2400(2.140032) ≈ 5136.076

Stella will have about $5136 in her account when Ethan's money has doubled.
