Answer:
Investment period = 24 years
Explanation:
The total amount that an investment made today would become if invested at a particular rate for certain number of years is known as the future value.
The $1,200,000 is the desired future value, the $296, 375 is the present value and the 6% is the interest rate.
FV = PV × (1+r)^n
1,200,000 = 296,375 × (1.06)^(n)
(1.06)^(n) = 1200000/96,375
(1.06)^(n) =4.048924504
find the log of both sides
n log 1.06= log 4.048924504
n= log 4.048924504/log 1.06
n = 24
It will take 24 years
