Con · Answer 1

This can be solved by comparing the future worth of each investment:

F = p (1+i) ^n

Where F is the future worth

P is the current value

i is the interes rate

n is the number of years

for the bond

F = 2600 * (1+0.114) ^9

F = $ 6869.74

For the stocks

F = 2000 * (1+0.144) ^9

F = $ 6712.19

The bond has greater value by $ 157.55
