Exercise 6–11
1. Choose the option with the highest present value.
(1) PV = $64,000
(2) PV = $20,000 + 8,000 (4.91732)
Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 6, i = 6% (from Table 4)
PV = $20,000 + 39,339 = $59,339
(3) PV = $13,000 (4.91732) = $63,925
Alex should choose option (1).
2. FVA = $100,000 (13.8164) = $1,381,640
Future value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 10, i = 7% (from Table 3)
