1. Ms. Field’s financial advisor has recommended that she invest $20,000 in a new housing development with an anticipated return of $28,000 in 6 years. The advisor claims that this is a better investment than investing her money in an account that pays 6% interest compounded annually. Is the advisor correct? 2. Ms. Wilson has $2,000 to invest. Either she can deposit the money in a time savings plan that will pay 1.5% annual interest (compounded annually) or she can lend the money to a friend who will repay her $750 at the end of each year for the next 3 years. Which opportunity is more profitable assuming the interest rates remain at their current level? 3. Redo the previous problem with an interest rate of 8%. 4.
