Question

You just purchased two coins at a price of $790 each. Because one of the coins is more collectible, you believe that its value will increase at a rate of 7.3 percent per year, while you believe the second coin will only increase at 6.7 percent per year. If you are correct, how much more will the first coin be worth in 20 years

Answer 1

Answer:

$3,233.12

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Purchase value of two coins = $790

First coin rate = 7.3%

Second coin rate = 6.7%

So, after considering the above information, the amount worth in 20 years

= Purchase value of two coins ×(1 + interest rate)^number of years

= $790 × (1 + 0.073)^20

= $790 × 4.0925541961

= $3,233.12
