Suppose that $2500 is placed in a savings account at an annual rate of 5%, compounded quarterly. Assuming that no withdrawals are made, how long will it take for the account to grow to $3500

number of periods = 8 years.

Explanation:

We know,

Future Value = Present value ×

Here,

Present value = PV = $2,500

Future value = FV = $3,500

Interest rate (Compounding) = 5% = 0.05

We have to determine how many years (Periods) it will take, n = ?

Putting the values into the above formula,

$3,500 = $2,500 ×

or, = $3,500 ÷ $2,500

or, n log 1.05 = 1.4

or, n × 0.17609 = 1.4

or, n =  1.4 ÷ 0.17609

Therefore, number of years = 7.95 or 8 years.

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
