Answer:
The annual difference between Option 1 (15 years) and Option 2 (20 years) is $7,211.19 in favor of the first one.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Option 1:
Number of years= 15
FV= 450,000
i= 0.0525
Option 2:
Number of years= 20
FV= 450,000
i= 0.0525
To calculate the annual cash flow, we will use the following formula on each option:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= annual cash flow
<u>Option 1:</u>
A= (450,000*0.0525) / [(1.0525^15) - 1]
A= $20,464.72
<u>Option 2:</u>
A= (450,000*0.0525) / [(1.0525^20) - 1]
A= $13,253.53
The annual difference between Option 1 (15 years) and Option 2 (20 years) is $7,211.19 in favor of the first one.
The euro is the common currency across Europe.
