Beth invests $2000 at a rate of 2% per year compound interest.
(i) Calculate the value of this investment at the end of 5 years.
2000(1 + 2%/1)^(1)(5) = 2000(1.02)^5 = $2208.16

Beth invests $2000 at a rate of 2% per year compound interest.

(ii) Calculate the overall percentage increase in the value of Beth’s investment at
the end of 5 years.

2208.16 = 2000 + 2000N

N = (2208.16 - 2000)/2000 = 0.10408 = 10.4%

10.4 or 10.5 or 10.40 to 10.41

Beth invests $2000 at a rate of 2% per year compound interest.
(iii) Calculate the minimum number of complete years it takes for the value of
Beth’s investment to increase from $2000 to more than $2500.
2000(1 + 2%/1)^(1)(t) = 2000(1.02)^t >= $2500
1.02^t = 2500/2000 = 5/4 = 1.25
T = log 1.25/log 1.02 = 11.26 years
Check:2000(1.02)^11 = 2486.748617
Therefore, round off to 12 COMPLETE years.
