Particulars | Amount |
Present Value | $ 100,000.00 |
Future Value | $ 200,540.00 |
Periods | 4 |
Future Value = Cash Flow * ( 1 + r )^n
$ 200540 = $ 100000 ( 1 + r ) ^ 4
( 1 + r ) ^ 4 = $200540 / $100000
( 1 + r ) ^ 4 = 2.0054
( 1 + r ) = 2.0054 ^ ( 1 / 4 )
( 1 + r ) = 1.19
r = 1.19 - 1
r = 0.19 i.e 19 %
OPtion C is correct.
