Alex Meir recently won a lottery and has the option of receiving one of the following three prizes: (1) $64,000 cash immediately, (2) $20,000 cash immediately and a six-period annuity of $8,000 beginning one year from today, or (3) a six-period annuity of $13,000 beginning one year from today. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) 1. Assuming an interest rate of 6%, determine the present value for the above options. Which option should Alex choose? 2. The Weimer Corporation wants to accumulate a sum of money to repay certain debts due on December 31, 2030. Weimer will make annual deposits of $100,000 into a special bank account at the end of each of 10 years beginning December 31, 2021. Assuming that the bank account pays 7% interest compounded annually, what will be the fund balance after the last payment is made on December 31, 2030?

Answer:

The best would be the first option of a single payment of 64,000

As the discounted value of the other option is lower

FV of the apayment $1,318,079.4942

Explanation:

(1)  PV 64,000

(2) 20,000 + PV of the annuity:

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C 8,000.00

time 6

rate 0.06

[tex]8000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-6} }{0.06} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $39,338.59

39,338.59 + 20,000 = 59,338.59

(3) PV of the annuity

[tex]C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\[/tex]

C 13,000.00

time 6

rate 0.06

[tex]13000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-6} }{0.06} = PV\\[/tex]

PV $63,925.2162

second question:

future value of annuity

[tex]C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\[/tex]

C 100,000.00

time 10

rate 0.06

[tex]100000 \times \frac{(1+0.06)^{10} -1}{0.06} = FV\\[/tex]

PV $1,318,079.4942
