Jocelyn invests $1,600 in an account that earns 2.5% annual interest. marcus invests $400 in an account that earns 5.4% annual interest. find when the value of marcus's investment equals the value of jocelyn's investment and find the common value of the investments at that time. if necessary, enter the year to the nearest tenth and the value to the nearest cent.

Total = Principal * (1 + rate) ^ years

We have to solve this for years:

Years = {log(total) -log(Principal)} ÷ log(1 + rate)

Jocelyn: Years = {log(total) -log(1,600)} ÷ log(1.025)

Marcus: Years =  {log(total) -log(400)} ÷ log(1.054)

We know the years must be equal but we won't know the total so we'll call that "x".

[log(x) -log(1,600)] ÷ log(1.025) = [log(x) -log(400)] ÷ log(1.054)

EDITED TO ADD

Time is about 49 Years 8 Months and total is about 5,454.00

We know the years must be equal

explanation:

the loan estimate encourages consumers to shop. since it is the lenders who are required to issue a standardized loan estimate in a specific time frame, this way consumers are provided an opportunity to compare lenders and their products. otherwise consumer wouldn't know the benefits offered by other lenders.  

if a loan originator does not provide a loan estimate within 3 business days of receiving a completed loan application, that lender is in violation. lenders are required to issue a loan estimate within 3 days of applying for a loan or within 7 days prior to closing. having a loan estimate has following information.

not having loan estimate won't give you an idea of money to be borrowed.

you get to know your interest rates.

you also get to know if your interest rate can or may vary.

not having a good faith estimate can keep you unaware of aforementioned points.
