Answer:
in 8.6 year will be $4000 be due in order present value $2000
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
P = 4,000 [tex]e^{-0.08t}[/tex]
amount = $4000
present value = $2000
solution
we consider here present value P and amount A t time at annual nominal year rate r
so
P = A[tex]e^{-0.08t}[/tex] .................1
so put here P is $2000 and is and A is $4000
2000 = 4000 [tex]e^{-0.08t}[/tex] take ln both side
ln [tex]\frac{2000}{4000}[/tex] = ln [tex]e^{-0.08t}[/tex]
ln2 - ln 4 = -0.08 t
t = 8.664
so in 8.6 year will be $4000 be due in order present value $2000
