Question 93: Investing in treasury bills. An investment advisor uses the polynomial P(1+r)^10 to predict the value of a clients investment of P dollars
with an average anual return r. The accompanying graph shows historic average annual returns for the last 20 years for various asset classes. Use the historical average return to predict the value in 10 years of an investment of $10,000 in treasury bills.
I can't put the graph in but I can tell you about it
the numbers on the left go vertically from 0 up to 20 on the left . There are four vertical bars#1 is large company stocks it goes up to 16.7% #2 is long term corporate bonds it goes up to 10.3%, #3 US treasury bills ,goes up to 7.3%, and #4 inflation goes up to 3.4%.

Answer by vleith(2983)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 93) rate of return on T-bills from graph is 7.3% - 0.073
F = 10000(1+0.073)^10
F = 20230.06
94) rate or return for Large company is 16.7% = 0.167
F = 10000(1+0.167)^10
F = 46849.89
Difference is 46849.89 - 20230.06 = 26619.80
Compound interest matters
