Suppose that $14141 is invested at an interest rate of 18% per year, compounded continuously. What is the account balance after 30 years?


Using \(\displaystyle P=P_0e^{kt}\) gives \(\displaystyle P=14141e^{\frac{9 t}{50}}\). Evaluating at \(\displaystyle t=30\) gives \(\displaystyle P=3130908\) dollars.
