Answer:

a. £1,350

b. 4%

Explanation:

a. The formula for the calculation of the value of an investment given an interest rate and a number of periods is:

Future value = Principal * ( 1 + rate) ^ no. of time periods

The given formula above is also in this form:

v = Future value

Principal = £1,350

Toni therefore invested £1,350

b. As already mentioned, the formula given is in the same form as the future value formula:

1.04 = 1 + rate

Rate = 1.04 - 1

Rate = 0.04

Rate = 4%
