| Mar 10, 2019 at 21:11 | comment | added | Karthick S | Yes. The answer comes to $ 1204.64. It isn't one of the provided options. :( | |

| Mar 10, 2019 at 21:08 | comment | added | Karthick S | Thanks Ben. I am trying to find that opportunity cost. But the formula does not seem to work. Please guide me with the correct formula. | |
| Mar 10, 2019 at 21:06 | comment | added | Ben Voigt | @KarthickS: If you fail to invest it, you will be left with (a smaller real amount) which has an FV of $25000. You need to find the difference between these two real amounts (the opportunity cost). That loss can be expressed in either PV or FV. | |
| Mar 10, 2019 at 21:02 | comment | added | Karthick S | To clarify, $25000 is the PV. We need to find the PV - FV. | |
