Answer:

E. You should accept the $200,000 because the payments are only worth $195,413 to you today

Explanation:

We solve for the presnet value of an annuity of 20 year of $1400 at 0.5% discount rate

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

C 1,400.00

time 240 (20 years x 12 month per year)

rate 0.005 (6% / 12 monhts = 0.5% = 0.5/100 = 0.005)

1400 \times \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-240} }{0.005} = PV\\

PV $195,413.0804
