Time Value of Money
REVIEW QUESTIONS
Question C-1 (LO C-1)
Interest is the cost of borrowing money. Simple interest is interest we earn on the initial investment
only. Compound interest is the interest we earn on the initial investment plus previous interest. We
use compound interest in calculating the time value of money.

Since the present value of payments ($39,816.02) is more than the cost today
($35,000), Denzel should choose option 1.
