You invest all the money you earned during your summer sales job (a total of $45,000) into the stock of a company that produces
erica [24]

Answer:

The annual rate of return of the invesment will be -14,97%

Explanation:

The initial investment is 45.000 and after 5 years the value of the investment is only 20.000. Here we can see a destruction of value (20.000 < 45.000). In finance, the time takes an essential part in calculation, so through the interest rate we calculated how bad was the investment in annual terms. The formula is as follows: Final investment value=(Initial investment*(1+interest rate)^(total years)) in our case would be: 20.000=(45.000*(1+interest rate)^(5)) From this formula we got -14,97%
