An investment has been growing at a fixed annual rate of 20% since it was first made;no portion of the investment has been withdrawn, and all interest has been reinvested. How much is the investment now worth?
(1)The value of the investment has increased by 44% since it was first made.
(2) If one year ago $600 had been withdrawn, today the investment would be worth 12% less than it is actually now worth.
Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.
Statement (2) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (1) alone is not sufficient.
BOTH statements TOGETHER are sufficient, but NEITHER statement ALONE is sufficient.
EACH statement ALONE is sufficient.
Statements (1) and (2) TOGETHER are NOT sufficient.
2) We know that the value of the investment was x/1.2 one year ago, and we can set up an equation about the effect of the hypothetical withdrawal.
(x/1.2-600)(1.2)=0.88x
