Chapter 2: Problem 7
A young person with no initial capital invests \(k\) dollars per year at an annual rate of return \(r\). Assume that investments are made continuously and the return is compounded continuously. $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { (a) Determine the sum } S(t) \text { accumulated at any time } t} \\ {\text { (b) If } r=7.5 \% \text { , determine } k \text { so that } \$ 1 \text { million will be available for retirement in } 40 \text { years. }} \\ {\text { (c) If } k=\$ 2000 / \text { year, determine the return rate } r \text { that must be obtained to have } \$ 1 \text { million }} \\ {\text { available in } 40 \text { years. }}\end{array} $$
