Assume that the interest rate () is positive, and that the future value is greater than the present value. As you increase (the rate at which you are discounting a dollar), the Present Value will: increase decrease Assume that the interest rate() is positive, and that the future value is greater than the present value. As you increase the number of periods, the interest rate required for a given preserft value to become a given future value will: increase decrease Assume that the interest rate() is positive, and that the future valueis greater than the present value. As you increase i, the number of periods required for your initial investment to become a given future value will: increase decrease
