Solution

The correct answer is e. $525.

Here's the step-by-step calculation:

  1. You start with $500.
  2. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. This means that for every dollar you have now, you will have $1.05 in one year.
  3. Multiply the amount you have now ($500) by 1.05 (the "1" represents the original amount and the ".05" represents the 5% interest).
  4. 5001.05=500 * 1.05 = 525.

So, if you have 500todayandtheriskfreeinterestrateis5500 today and the risk-free interest rate is 5%, you will have 525 in one year.
