Description
This project gives students the opportunity to work individually or in small groups. The students act as financial advisers who are trying to please a given client. The students are given 10 investment options with varying compound and simple interest rates and time requirements. Students are to analyze each option and write up a report for their client that advises them on which 1 of the 10 options to choose. Students then complete an extension where they can analyze the same situation but now being able to invest in multiple options (not necessarily just choosing one), as they try to get their client "the most bang for their buck." Answer key is included for instructor use.
