XYZ company purchased a new machine at £50,000 and is using the profits to pay it off. Profits in march were £7876.
If profits increase by 2% from previous month in what month will the machine be completely paid off?
I know there is a simple calculation method in order to calculate exponential growth however don’t know how to apply to this question .

Dear Rob. Thank you for adding a comment. If all profits are used to
pay it off, then the answer is 7 months. If the last profit is used to
pay it off, then the answer is 94 months.

Dear jay. Thank you for adding information. We agree with your
arguments. Formulae
7876*(1+1.02+1.02^2+1.02^3+1.02^4+1.02^5+1.02^6)=58552.42
and 7876*(1+1.02+1.02^2+1.02^3+1.02^4+1.02^5)=49682.76 show that at
least 7 months are needed, if we start in March, then pay off will be
in September.

Dear learnbasicmath. Is January available in your multiple-choice
list? If the current month is March, then 3+94=97=12*8+1, so it will
be the first month, that is January.

What are you talking about, it's correct. This is a practice question
on a lot of standardized test prep. February is not even on the answer
choices.

The correct answer is 7 months from March, which would be August.
