A = P * r * t
A = P * (1 + r)^n
#21
What is the difference between simple interest and compound interest over a long period?
Simple interest always yields higher returns
Compound interest always yields higher returns
Both types of interest yield the same returns over a long period
The difference depends on the interest rate
#22
What is the present value formula for discounting cash flows?
PV = FV / (1 + r)^n
PV = FV * (1 + r)^n
PV = FV * (1 - r)^n
