Answer:
The first investment is more profitable than the general market interest rate.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
An investment will pay $202,000 at the end of next year for an investment of $182,000 at the start of the year. The market interest rate is 7.9% over the same period.
<u>To compare both options, we need to calculate the final value of investing the $182,000 in other investment that pays a 7.9% interest rate.</u>
We need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 182,000*(1.079)= $196,378
The first investment is more profitable than the general market interest rate.
