Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: According to the Rule of 72, an investment earning 8 a year will double in value approximately every 9 years. Thus, the 2,000 will grow to about 64,000 in 45 years. In 45 years, the original investment will double five times (2K  2 = 4K, 4K  2 = 8K, 8K  2 = 16K, 16K  2 = 32K, and 32K  2 = 64K).

Answer to Question 2

D
