10 years ago you invested $1,000. If your investment is worth $6,000 now, what was your rate of return?
Multiple Choice
a. 17.46% +/- 1.00%
b. 10.74% +/- 1.00%
c. 13.12% +/- 1.00%
d. 19.62% +/- 1.00%
The right option is (d).
Explanation:
Where FV = Future Value = $ 6,000
PV = Present Value = $1000
n = no. of years invested = 10
r = rate of return
6000 = 1000 x (1 + r )10
or, (1 + r )10= 6000/1000
or, 1 + r = (6)(1/10)
or, r = 1.196231199 - 1
or, Rate of Return = 0.196231199 = 19.6231199% or 19.62%(rounded off)
The Rate of Return is 19.62%, Fourth Option is the correct one.
The Rate of Return is 19.62%, Fourth Option is the correct one.
