This means that you do not actually have to pay for the mattress for another year. One year from now you will have to give the store the full price of $2,000.

Respuesta :

Answer:

correct option is B) $1,818

Explanation:

given data

new mattress = $2,000

time = 12 months = 1 year

rate = 10 % = 0.10

solution

we will apply here present value formula that is here express as

present value = Principal × [tex]( 1+rate)^{time}[/tex]        ......................1

put here all these value time 1 year and rate 0.1 and consider principal is x so

present value = Principal × [tex]( 1+rate)^{time}[/tex]  

2000 = x × [tex]( 1+0.1)^{1}[/tex]

x = 1818

so correct option is B) $1,818
