Answer: I do think that people have difficulty talking to others face-to-face because of how prevalent texting is today. The reason for that is because we’ve gotten used to having time to think about our answer before sending our message. In general, there’s less pressure with texting than there is with face-to-face. You’re in front of the person you’re talking to and they’re able to monitor you closely, which could make some people uncomfortable and unable to think of anything to say. Another reason is because texting is able to be done without moving. It’s more convenient than meeting up with someone to discuss something.
Answer:
- <u><em>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</em></u>
Explanation:
<em>Present value</em> is the value today; future value is the value some time in the future.
The mere notion of the value of money in time should tell you that, further away in time (towards the future) a sum of money is found, the lower its value today.
Then, you should be able to rule out some propositions that are contrary to that intuition:
- a<em>) decreases as the time period decreases</em> ↔ clearly false: the present value increases as the time period decreases
- <em>e) is directly related to the time period</em>. ↔ clearly false: the present value is inversely related to the time period.
How is the present value related to the future value?
They are directly related: the higher a lump sum in the future the higher the value of it in the present; more money is more money always. More money in the future has more value in the present; less money in the future has less value in the present. Thus, the option <em>b). is inversely related to the future value</em> is false
How is the present value related to the interest rate?. Which one is true?
- c) is directly related to the interest rate, or
- d) increases as the interest rate decreases
The present value is calculated discounted the future value at the interest rate. The interest rate is in the denominator of the equation to pass from future value to present value. Thus, they are inversely related (c is false); the less the interest rate, the higher the present value of a future amount (confirm d is true).
Therefore, the correct answer is that <em>the present of a lump sum future amount: </em><em><u>d) increases as the interest rate decreases.</u></em>

<u>Answer:</u> The rate of interest is 7.18 %
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate the rate of interest, we use the equation used for the interest compounded monthly follows:

A = Amount after time period 'T' = $100,000
P = Principal amount = $50,000
R = rate of interest = ?
n = Number of times interest applied per time period = 1 (annually)
T = time period = 10 years
Putting values in above equation, we get:

Calculating the rate of interest in percentage:

Hence, the rate of interest is 7.18 %
