B - Invest $200 per month for 10 years, earning 8% annual rate of interest.
Which of the following is most correct?
A. There is no way to tell which investment has the higher future value
B. Investment A has the higher future value.
C. Investment B has the higher future value.
D. Investments A and B have identical future values.
QUESTION 1 - Option B
Since, new long term debt is increasing, the liabilities side (particularly the Long term liability on balance sheet) would increase. Whenever the liabilities increase, there is a corresponding increase in an asset as well (unless no other liability is decreasing). SO, when the long term debt increases, assets (in particular cash) also increase. (You get a loan amount from bank, so you get cash, but that cash is a liability)
QUESTION 2 - Option B
We will use the time value of money concept to find the rate of return.
FV = PV * (1 + r)n
20000 = 45000 * (1 + r)5
r = -14.99% = -15%
QUESTION 3 - Option D
Again using TVM function, to calculate the future value of an annuity, the formula is:
FV = 274,571.8
