A tax free municipal bond pays 4.75% compounded continuously. What is the value of a $2,000 bond after 30 years? Round your answer to the nearest cent.

[Hint- A=P e^rt where P= present(initial) value, A= future value, r= annual rate, and t= number of years]

To calculate the future value of a tax-free municipal bond, we can use the formula:

A = P * e^(rt),

where A represents the future value, P is the present value (initial investment), r is the annual interest rate, and t is the number of years.

In this case, we are given the following information:
- Present value (P): $2,000
- Annual interest rate (r): 4.75%
- Number of years (t): 30

Now, let's substitute these values into the formula:

A = 2000 * e^(0.0475 * 30).

First, we need to calculate the exponent part: 0.0475 * 30 = 1.425.

Next, we substitute this result into the formula:

A = 2000 * e^(1.425).

Using a scientific calculator or an online exponential calculator, we can evaluate e^(1.425), which is approximately 4.1552.

Finally, we multiply this result by $2,000:

A = 2000 * 4.1552 = $8,310.40 (rounded to the nearest cent).

Therefore, after 30 years, the value of the $2,000 tax-free municipal bond would be approximately $8,310.40.
