Rate of return Alex has received is 25% .

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Here we have , Alex invests $2,000 in a company's stock. After a year, the value of Alex's stock has increased to $2,500. We need to find What rate of return has Alex received . Let's find out:

Alex initially invested $2000 in a company and after a year Alex's stock has increased to $2500 i.e. by :

⇒ 2500-2000

⇒ $500

So, rate of return Alex has received is given by :

⇒ \frac{2500-2000}{2000}(100)

⇒ \frac{500}{2000}(100)

⇒ \frac{50}{2}

⇒ 25\%

Therefore , Rate of return Alex has received is 25% .

The rate of interest is 25%

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Principal, P = $2,000

Amount, A = $2500

Time, t = 1 year

Rate of Interest, r = ?

We know:

Amount = P(1+\frac{r}{100})^t

On substituting the value we get:

2500 = 2000 (1 + \frac{r}{100})^1\\ \\\frac{25}{20}= (1+\frac{r}{100})\\

\frac{5}{20} = \frac{r}{100}\\  \\r = \frac{100 X 5}{20} \\\\r = 25

Therefore, the rate of interest is 25%
