Question 2

Ten years ago, Tom purchased a painting for 300. The painting is now worth 1,020. Tom could have deposited 300 in a savings account paying 12 percent interest compounded annually.

Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Using financial calculator: PV =- 300, FV = 1,020, n = 10, PMT =0, CPT I: 13
Painting has a higher return (13 percent) in comparison to the 12 percent rate of return from the savings account.
