Question

An investment offers to double your money in 30 months (don’t believe it). What rate per six months are you being offered? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Rate %

Answer 1

9.05%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula that would be used to fund the interest rate =

[(FV / PV)^1/N ] - 1

FV / PV = Future value/ present value = 2 (The investment offers to double the investment)

M = 5 (30 months / 6 months )

(2 ^1/8) - 1 = 0.090508 = 9.05%
