Answer:

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 30,000(.78) in a calculator then you end up with 23400. Decreasing by 78% is to much of a decrease and it definitely did not increase.

Answer 2

The statement that best describes the rate of change of the value of the portfolio is it decreases by 22% per year.

What is the rate of change in the portfolio?

The formula that can be used to determine the value of a stock is if it is decreasing is:

FV = P (1 - r)^n

• FV = Future value
• P = Present value
• R = rate of decline
• N = number of years

Rate of decline = 1 - 0.78 = 22%
