Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The Rule of 72 is a quick method for estimating the amount of time necessary to double your money given a rate of return or, conversely the return required to double your money, given a particular time period. The rule developed prior to calculators and computers and served as a useful technique to estimate values for commodities and securities. The student should be able to identify a situation where it would be important to know the time or rate necessary to double the value of an investment.
