The simple exponential smoothing is a method suitable
for predicting data with no style or seasonal pattern. While
in Moving Averages the past observations are weighted similarly, Exponential
Smoothing allocates exponentially lessening weights as the
observation get older.

Answer:
If you wait one year, in 45 years you will have $16,624.04 more than investing today.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Option 1:
Initial investment= $11,500
Number of years= 45
Interest rate= 4.1%
Option 2:
Initial investment= $11,500
Number of years= 44
Interest rate= 4.7%
To calculate the future value for both options, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
<u>Option 1:</u>
FV= 11,500*(1.041^45)= $70,142.41
<u>Option 2:</u>
FV= 11,500*(1.047^44)
FV= $86,766.45
If you wait one year, in 45 years you will have $16,624.04 more than investing today.
