Currently, you can invest either in a security that pays interest of 7.5 percent per year for the next 2 years or in a security that matures in 1 year but pays only 5.8 percent interest.

Why might you choose to make the investment in the 1-year security that pays an interest rate of only 5.8 percent, as opposed to investing in the 2-year security paying 7.5 percent?

Why might you choose to make the investment in the 1-year security that pays an interest rate of only 5.8 percent, as opposed to investing in the 2-year security paying 7.5 percent?
