Answer:

i) 302720

ii) 390909.09

Step-by-step explanation:

So to that end, here's the formula:

[tex]future \: value = (present \: value){(1 - rate)}^{time} [/tex]

In part i, we do the following:

[tex]344000 {(1 - .12)}^{1} = 302720[/tex]

In part ii, we do the following:

[tex]344000 {(1 - .12)}^{ - 1} = 390909.09[/tex]
