Respuesta :

Answer:

(a) future value = $2041396.79

(b) future value = $862308.06

(c) financially suggest to invest early so that here amount  fetch maximum returns

Explanation:

given data

rate = 9%

solution

when we invest = $100,000

time t = 35 year

so we get here future value FV

FV = Present value × [tex](1+r)^{t}[/tex]  ...................1

FV = $100,000 × [tex](1+0.09)^{35}[/tex]  

FV = $2041396.79

and

when time will be 25 year

future value will be

FV =  Present value × [tex](1+r)^{t}[/tex] .................2

Fv = $100,000 × [tex](1+0.09)^{25}[/tex]

FV = $862308.06

and

we can see difference is large because of the compounding effect

so  the financially suggest to invest early so that here amount  fetch maximum returns
