IV. Money is deposited in a bank offering interest at an annual rate of 7%
compounded continuously. Find the percentage rate of change of the balance
with respect to time. If it is compounded annually?
Answer:
compounded continuously: The equation for the balance is B(t) = P0 e0.07t ,
where P0 is the initial deposit.
0 (t)
The percentage rate of change of the balance with respect to time = BB(t)
100
B 0 (t)
100
B(t)

= (ln(B(t)))0 100

(ln(B(t)))0 = (ln(P0 e0.07 ])0

= (ln(P0 ) + ln(e0.07t )0
= (ln(P0 ) + 0.07t)0
= 0.07
The percentage rate of change of the balance with respect to time = 0.07(100) =
7%.
compounded annually:
The equation for the balance is B(t) = P0 (1.07)t , where P0 is the initial deposit.
0 (t)
100
The percentage rate of change of the balance with respect to time = BB(t)
B 0 (t)
100
B(t)

= (ln(B(t)))0 100
(ln(B(t)))0 = (ln(P0 (1.07)t ))0
= (ln(P0 ) + ln((1.07)t ))0
= (ln(P0 ) + t ln(1.07))0
= ln(0.07)
The percentage rate of change of the balance with respect to time = ln(1.07)(100) =
6.76%.
