In row 13, we would like to calculate the value of Investment A over a period of ten years assuming the constant growth rate in cell B13. First, calculate the value in Year 1 (D13) using the same technique in Part A. If you try to drag D13 to the right to fill in the remaining years, you will get some very strange numbers! That is because the growth rate cell B13 is changing as you drag. However, you need that cell to say fixed in place for all the formulas as you drag to fill E13 through M13. The way to fix cell B13 in place is using an absolute cell reference. Instead of B13 in the formula change it to $B$13 and then drag to the right to fill Year 2 through Year 10. Enter those values below (to the nearest dollar). Do not use a dollar sign ($), just the value. Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 $…arrow_forwardHelparrow_forward
