Time to Double Investment Formula

Sample Problem

If r = 5%, then to find double time, the formula looks like the following;
2P = Pe^^.05t

we then divide both sides by P, so the equation is now;
2 = e^^.05t

multiply both sides by ln
.05t = ln2

divide by .05
t = ln2 / .05

t = 13.86 years

therefore, it will take 13.86 years to double your investment based on an interest rate of 5%
