a 12.5%
b 10%
c 8.25%
d 5%
e 3%
OA - E
Here's what I did;
Investment in the first year - 100 => 200 => 400 => 800 => 1600.
% of total cost = 100/1600=6.25%
However, OE says that total cost = 100+200+400+800+3100 ...Not sure why is OE adding all investments. Essentially, for a five year, perpetuity (Say), one cannot withdraw the investment in the middle of timeframe. Secondly, $200 get re-invested. Why are we considering it cost? Can anyone please explain?
