(c) You invest $2,000 in a certificate of deposit with an annual percentage yield of 2%, compounded continuously. How many years will it take for your investment to become $3,000?
(A calculator-ready form will suffice.)
Answer:
ln 1.5
ln 1.02
Solution: y(t) = y0 ekt where y0 = 2000. We have
y(1)/y0 = 1 + 0.02 = 1.02.
Thus
ek = 1.02,
k = ln 1.02.
We want y(t) = 3000, thus
3000 = 2000ekt ,
t=

If the current price per unit is $30, use the price elasticity of demand = E =
whether the revenue will increase or decrease if the price is raised slightly.
Answer: decrease
Solution: We have
