Consider the provided data,
P=$5000, r=7.5%and1=50 years
Where, P is principal, ris the rate of interest and 1 is time period in years.
For compounded continuously,
A=Pert
Substitute the value of A, P, r,t,
A=5000e0.07550
Calculate 5000e0.07550 with the help of a calculator,
$212,605.41
The amount received by the college is $212,605.41.
