Question

Your neighbor, Bayonetta, offers you an investment opportunity which will pay a single lump sum of $2,150 four years from today. The investment requires a single payment of $1,100 today. What is the annual rate of return on this investment

Answer 1

Answer:

18.24%

Explanation:

Annual rate of return is used in determining the return on an investment over a 12 month or one year period.

Annual rate of return = [(future value / cost ) ^( 1/n) ] - 1

future value = 2150

present cost = 1100

n = number of years = 4

(2150 / 1100)^(1/4) - 1 = 0.1824 = 18.24%
