Chapter 6, Problem 79QP
Summary Introduction
To show: The “Rule of 73” is slightly better than the “Rule of 72”
Introduction:
The “Rule of 72” states that the time required to double the investment is approximately 72 divided by r%(discount rate). It can be stated in the form of an equation as follows:
Hence, the “Rule of 72” helps in finding the period of investment is (t), the discount rate is (r).

Hello. I have a question how does the value of i (interest rate) is 0.075 in the example eventhough it said 9.5% p.a. Is there any calculation involved in geting that 0.075 from 9.5%. Enlighten me if I'm wrong. Thank You.
1) What is the future value at time t=3 for a present value of PV=$100 (e.g., t=0) if the interest rate is r=0.10 (e.g., r=10%)? 2) What is the future value at time t=18 for a present value of PV=$1525 (e.g., t=0) if the interest rate is r=0.085 (e.g., r=8.5%)? 3) What is the present value of a future value of FV=$500 at time t=5 if the interest rate is r=0.10 (e.g., r=10%)? 4) What is the present value for a future value of FV=$500,000 at time t=36 if the interest rate is r=0.05 (e.g., r=5%)? 5) What is the interest rate “r” if PV=$100 and the FV=$350 in year t=12? 6) What is the interest rate “r” if PV=$1250 and the FV=$2150 in year t=10? 7) How long will it take to double your investment if the interest rate is r=0.06 (r=6%)?8) How long will it take to increase your investment by 2.5 times if the interest rate is r=0.14 (r=14%)?9) Which is the better option if the interest rate is r=0.10 (r=10%)?
