Answer:

The  balance in this account at the end of the 10-year period is 310000

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

Now, Recall that,

Time period is = 10 yrs = 12*10 = 120 months

Interest = 10%

= 10%/12 = 0.8333% per month continuously compounded .

Thus,

The rate effective  per month = e^r - 1 = e^0.0083333 - 1 = 0.00836815

so,

The month per  = 1500

The value of future  deposit = 1500 * (F/A,0.836815%,120)

= 1500 * [((1 + 0.00836815)^120 - 1)/ 0.00836815]

= 1500 * [((1.00836815)^120 - 1)/ 0.00836815]

= 1500 * 205.3359

= 308003.89

which is also = 310000 (nearest value)
