Which of the following statements is true—assuming that no additional deposits or withdrawals are made? An investment of $50 at an annual rate of 5% will return a higher value in five years than $25 invested at an annual rate of 10% in the same time. An investment of $25 at an annual rate of 10% will return a higher value in five years than $50 invested at an annual rate of 5% in the same time.

Option a. An investment of $50 at an annual rate of 5% will return a higher value in five years than $25 invested at an annual rate of 10% in the same time is the true statement

Explanation:

PV = Present Value =12800

FV = Future Value = 17983.08

n = Period = 3 years

r = Interest rate = ???

Future value = PV (1+r)^n

17983.08 = 12800 (1+r)^3

(1+r)^3 = 17983.08/12800 = 1.4049

1+r = cube root of 1.4049

1+r = 1.12

r = 1.12-1 = 0.12 or 12%

(2) PV = Present Value = 50000

FV = Future Value = 98691.13

n = Period = ???

r = Interest rate = 12%

Future value = PV (1+r)^n

98691.13 = 50000 (1+0.12)*n

(1.12)^n = 98691.13/50000 = 1.9738226

n = 6 Years

(To check answer please redo the Future value equation inserting n=6)

(3) Future value = PV (1+r)^n

investment of $25 at an annual rate of 10% for5 year = 25 (1+0.10)^5 =25*(1.61051)= 40.26

investment of $50 at an annual rate of 5% for5 year = 50(1+0.05)^5 = 50*(1.27628) =63.81

hence Option a. An investment of $50 at an annual rate of 5% will return a higher value in five years than $25 invested at an annual rate of 10% in the same time is the true statement

so they can see what that city is producing and to also see if they can some how get that product. like gold in africa.

answer; /// the above statement is (true);
