Question
1. **Investment 1: ** This is also a one-off cost paid at the start of the period over 7 years, costing $4000. It earns interest twenty-four/7 all the time because such concepts are more automatically managed than with other types of investment. 2. **Investment 2: ** It puts in less frequent, way fewer regular investments of $2,000 in the first year, $1,500 in the second and third years, and $500 in the fourth. These smaller amounts though have a time frame within which they could start earning the interest. **Result: ** – Investment 1 increased to approximately **$5,135.69** out of which **$1,135.69** earns interest. Particularly, Investment 2 was appreciated for **$4,918.93**, and it creates almost **$918.93** interest. ### Conclusion: Given more money over a longer period, Investment 1 earns more interest than Investment 2. ### Reasoning: This is preferable to installment investing because the money being invested earns interest for a longer time than an installment investment. It doesn’t do this at the scale or as progressively as the smaller and more spread-out investments do. And that is why it is more advisable to send larger incremental contributions than weekly or monthly contributions, if possible. Get rid of the past tense
