The formula to calculate the number of periods:
Where,
“t” refers to the number of years or periods of investment
“ln” refers to the log value
“FV” refers to the future value
“PV” refers to the present value
“r” refers to the simple rate of interest

Hence, the number of periods of Investment A is 10.35 years.
Compute the number of periods for Investment B:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment B is 8.46 years.
Compute the number of periods for Investment C:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment C is 17.56 years.
Compute the number of periods for Investment D:
Hence, the number of periods of Investment D is 21.44 years.
