Step 1 :Given that the principal investment amount \(P_{0} = \$100,000\), the annual interest rate \(k = 5\% = 0.05\), and the time the money is invested for \(t = 7\) years.
Step 2 :We can use the formula for continuous compounding to find the future value \(P\) of the investment. The formula is given by \[P = P_{0}e^{kt}\]
Step 3 :Substituting the given values into the formula, we get \[P = 100000 \cdot e^{0.05 \cdot 7}\]
Step 4 :Calculating the above expression, we find that \(P = 141906.75485932574\)
Step 5 :Rounding to the nearest cent, we get \(P = \$141,906.75\)
Step 6 :\(\boxed{The amount accumulated after 7 years is approximately \$141,906.75}\)
