1.) Your brother has asked you to help him with choosing an investment. He has $8,000 to invest today for a period of two years. You identify a bank CD that pays an interest rate of 0.0300 annually with the interest being paid quarterly. What will be the value of the investment in two years?

2.) You are evaluating a growing perpetuity product from a large financial services firm. The product promises an initial payment of $22,000 at the end of this year and subsequent payments that will thereafter grow at a rate of 0.02 annually. If you use a discount rate of 0.10 for investment products, what is the present value of this growing perpetuity?
