TRUE/FALSE. Write ‘T’ if the statement is true and ‘F’ if the statement is false. (Worth .25 points each or 2.5 points for this section) 1) For a given positive interest rate, the future value of $100 increases with the passage of time. Thus, the longer the period of time, the greater the future value. 2) Future value is the value of a future amount at the present time, found by applying compound interest over a specified period of time.
