Answer:
should choose option a
Explanation:
option a)
annuity due, 31 payments of $180,000 per year, 6.25% discount rate
Present value = $180,000 x 14.40432 (PV annuity due factor, 6.25%, 31 periods) = $2,592,726
option b)
$500,000 today + ordinary annuity, 30 periods, 6.25%, $144,000
present value = $500,000 + ($144,000 x 13.40432 [PV annuity factor, 6.25%, 30 periods)] = $2,430,222
