Answer: D. The actual value of the contract is less than $30 million for each year he plays.
Explanation:
Given that Mark sherzer will be paid $15 million per year for 14 years reflects a contract whose value at the time of signing is ($15 million × 14) = $210 million. However, the payment would not be paid at the of signing but spread over a period of 14 years with $15 million being splashed out annually. However, considering the time value of money, whereby the present value of a fixed amount decreases with time. Hence in actual sense, the $210 million face worth of the contract will actually be less than $30 million [$210/7(playing years)] as time progresses on the fixed amount paid yearly due to reduction in the value of the present value as time progresses.
