C

Explanation:

Compound interest is a practice of reinvesting the the principal amount and the interest earned instead of paying out the interest. With this method, the total value of money increases with time.

However, the value of the money (principal + interest) in the first year sing this method is the same as the simple interest method.

If a money is worth 10% compounded annually. $1100 in one year is $1000 today.

Workings

Interest rate - 10%

One year value (100%+10%) - $1100

Current value = 100/110*1100

= $1000
