Explanation / Answer

Requirement:1

When simple interest , It will take approx 15 years to make $ 93,000 at desired level

matured amount =no of years* Interest+principal amount

176000= no of years*93000*6.01%+93000

No of years=(176000-96000)/93000*6.01%

=15 years approx.

Requirement :2

When compound interest

A=P(1+R/100)^n

where,

A= matured amount

P = principal amonut

R= rate of interst

N= no of period

176000=93000*(1+6.01/12/100)^n

N= 10.67 years
