The Martin family purchases a new home at a cost of $240,000. They finance the home for 30 years at 6% interest, compounded continuously
How much will the Martins pay for the house, including interest

Respuesta :

Given:

Principal value = $240,000

Rate of interest = 6% compounded continuously.

Time = 30 years

To find:

The amount after interest.

Solution:

The formula for amount after continuous compounding the interest is:

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex]

Where, P is principal, r is rate of interest and t is the number of years.

Putting [tex]P=240,000,r=0.06,t=30[/tex], we get

[tex]A=240,000e^{0.06(30)}[/tex]

[tex]A=240,000e^{1.8}[/tex]

[tex]A=1451,915.39146[/tex]

[tex]A\approx 1451,915.39[/tex]

Therefore, Martins will pay $1451,915.39 for the house, including interest.
