Answer:
The correct answer is A. Both Laura and Cassie are correct.
Explanation:
Since Laura says that the present value of $ 700 to be received one year from today if the interest rate is 6 percent is less than the present value of $ 700 to be received two years from today if the interest rate is 3 percent, and Cassie says that $ 700 saved for one year at 6 percent interest has a smaller future value than $ 700 saved for two years at 3 percent interest, to determine who is right, the following calculations must be performed:
700 x 1.06 = 742
700 x 1.03 ^ 2 = 742.63
Therefore, both Laura and Cassie are correct in their claims.
