1. If a $1000 investment at compound interest doubles every 6 years, how long will it take the investment to grow to $8000? 2. (True or False) An investment growing at the rate of 12% compounded monthly will double (that is, increase by 100%) in about 70 months. Therefore, the investment should increase by 50% in about 35 months.
