    Q. A sum of money was invested for 10 years at 7% p.a and is now worth $2000. What was the original value invested ?

    I tried solving this by diving 2000 by (1.007)^10 which was 2000/0.508. However the answer is not correct. Please help ?

    7% is 0.07 and not 0.007 !!!

    So. you should have divided by 1.07^10 (or simply looked up the 10 years discount factor at 7% in the tables provided).

    Have you watched my free lectures on this? The lectures are a complete free course for Paper MA and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.

    Sir I tried solving their question

    I went to the present annuity factor table and multiplied 2000 by 0.508 to get the figure

    And my answer was $1016

    is this answer correct?
