Question:

Suppose a friend of yours invests $100 each month in an individual retirement account (IRA) for a decade and earns an unbelievable APR of 12% a year (1% per month) on her investment. She will end up with $100 (F/A, 1%, 120) = $100 (230.0387) = $23,003.87 after 10 years. If you decide to invest $200 each month over 10 years, but can earn only a meager APR of 3% per year on it, roughly how much will you have accumulated after 10 years? Choose the closest answer.

(a) $19,000

(b) $24,000

(c) $28,000

(d) $46,000
