Answer:
The correct option is 2
Explanation:
Let us assume the current value of the investment be x
And the annual growth factor of the investment is 1.2
1. The investment value has increased or risen by 44% since it was first made
It is known that the combined growth factor of the investment is 1.44 and no information is stated regarding the actual ($) values. Therefore, the unique value could not be computed.
So, this statement lacks information and insufficient to solve for x.
2. 1 year ago, the withdrawn money worth is $600 and at present the worth of the investment would be 12% less than the actual worth.
1 year ago, the value of the investment was x / 1.2. So, the equation could be set up regarding the withdrawal.
The equation would be:
= (x/ 1.2- 600) × (1.2)
=0.88x
Therefore, the unique value to could be answered and the sufficient to answer.
NOTE: The options are missing. So I am providing the answer with the options.
