Identify whether the following statements about the simple and compound interest methods are true or false.

Alek is willing to invest $$30,000$ for eight years, and is an economically rational investor. He has identified three investment alternatives $($A$,$ B$,$ and C$)$

that vary in their method of calculating interest and in the annual interest rate offered. Since he can only make one investment during the eight$-$year

investment period, complete the following table and indicate whether Alek should invest in each of the investments.

Note: When calculating each investment's future value, assume that all interest is eamed annually. The final value should be rounded to the nearest

whole dollar.
