Thanks for providing the question Farid!

The question is referring to “return on investment” which is a financial management technique under the “Project Cost Management” area (chapter 7 in PMBOK 5th edition). The formula is:
fv=pv*(1+r)^n or future value=present value*(1+rate)^number of years

From questions:
present value=10,000
rate=.05
number of years=10

fv=10,000*(1+.05)^10=16,289

So I get “c” as the answer. This tells you what the value of your investment will be in 10 years at this rate.

Hope this helps!

Hi Farid,

I did not encounter this type of question on my PMP exam. Do you recall the entire question? If so, please provide it as it may help us assist you further. Thanks!
