You want to make $250,000 at 5.70% compounded continuously for 20 years. Leading Question: How would you represent the above situation? Suppose in the first month, you sold 10,000 pairs of shoes and half a million views on the website. What is the first month's outcome? How does the second month's model differ from the first month?
