You have an investment that will pay you 1.18 percent per month. a. How much will you have per dollar invested in one year? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.) b. How much will you have per dollar invested in two years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e. g., 32.16.)

The correct answer for option (a) is $1.15 and for option (b) is $1.33.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Present value (PV) = $1

Rate of interest (R) = 1.18% per month

Time period (for option a) (t1) = 12 months

Time period (for option b) (t2) = 24 months

So, we can calculate the future value by using following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + R) ^t

(a). By putting value in the formula:

FV = $1 (1 + 0.0118) ^12

= $1 * 1.1511610877

= $1.15

FV = PV * (1 + R) ^t

(b). By putting value in the formula:

FV = $1 (1 + 0.0118) ^24

= $1 * 1.32517184983

= $1.33
