Question:
Tony plans to invest $23,000 for 360 days into a GIC. Tony has two options:
- Option A: Invest the money in a 360-day GIC at 5.1% simple interest.
- Option B: Invest the money in a 180-day GIC at 3.8% simple interest and then re-invest the maturity value from the first 180-day GIC into another 180-day GIC.
- If Tony chooses Option A, what is the maturity value at the end of the 360-day GIC?
Suppose Tony selects Option B.
What interest rate does the second 180-day GIC need so that Tony receives the same maturity value as the 360-day GIC?
