A sum of 10,000 is deposited in a bank. Consider two situations: the bank offers an annual rate of interest of 10 and the bank offers an annual rate of interest of 15. Compare the time value of money generated in both cases after:
 
  a) one year.
  b) five years.

[Brummell1998]

Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

a) At a rate of interest of 10 per annum, future value of 10,000 after a year is: 11,000. Hence, time value of money is: 11,000 - 10,000 = 1,000.
At a rate of interest of 15 per annum, future value of 10,000 after a year is: 11,500. Hence, time value of money is: 11,500 - 10,000 = 1,500.

b) At a rate of interest of 10 per annum, future value of 10,000 after five years is: 16,105.1. Hence, time value of money is: 16,105.1 - 10,000 =  6,105.1.
At a rate of interest of 15 per annum, future value of 10,000 after five years is: 20,113.57. Hence, time value of money is: 20,113.57 - 10,000 = 10,113.57.
