Answer:

given,

Future Value = $2,300

Present value = $1,700

time = 9 years

a) Annual rate of return

[tex]r = (\dfrac{FV}{PV})^{\dfrac{1}{n}}-1[/tex]

[tex]r = (\dfrac{2,300}{1,700})^{\dfrac{1}{9}}-1[/tex]

[tex]r = 1.034-1[/tex]

r = 3.4 %

b) amount of investment to be made

[tex]r = (\dfrac{FV}{PV})^{\dfrac{1}{n}}-1[/tex]

[tex]0.0142 = (\dfrac{2,300}{PV})^{\dfrac{1}{9}}-1[/tex]

[tex]1.135= (\dfrac{2,300}{PV})[/tex]

[tex]PV= (\dfrac{2,300}{1.135})[/tex]

PV = $2,027
