Ms James' great aunt Ahm naught A'widtch passed away, leaving her a single 1kg gold bar: $81,000. Ms James sells the bar and invests it into an account that compounds semi-annually, with a growth rate of 2% p.a.. She also adds $300 of her own money every month.


If Ms James kept the gold bar for 3 years, it would have sold for approximately $95000. Which of the two options would be better and why?

a)

Keep the gold bar. The investment is only worth $88 909 in 3 years.

b)

Sell now and invest. She would have a grand total of $97 057, which is higher than the value of the gold bar.

c)

Keeping the gold bar. The total would be less than the value of the investment, but she wouldn't have to pay $10 800 in payments.

d)

The investment. She should have $146 520 after 3 years.
