Given an accumulated balance of 60000,
principal of 40000,
and interest rate of 18%

Calculate the Time using Continuous Interest

Accumulated Value Formula

Accumulated Value = Pert where e = 2.718281828459

Divide each side of the equation by A

A
P
=
  
Pert
P

Cancel P on the right side:

ert  =  A
  P

Take the natural log of both sides

Ln(ert) = Ln(A) - Ln(P)

rt = Ln(A) - Ln(P)

Divide both sides of the equation by r:

rt
r
=
  
Ln(A) - Ln(P)
r

Cancel r on the left side

t  =  Ln(A) - Ln(P)
  r

Plugging in our values that we entered, we get:

t  =  Ln(60000) - Ln(40000)
  0.18

t  =  11.002099841204 - 10.596634733096
  0.18

t  =  0.40546510810817
  0.18

Calculate the total interest earned:

Total Interest Earned = Accumulated Value - Principal

Total Interest Earned = 2.2526 - 40000

Total Interest Earned = -39997.7474

Calculate the interest earned:

Interest per Period  =  Interest Earned
  t

Interest per Period  =  -39997.7474
  

Interest per period = -INF
