DedPeter [7]

Answer:

to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones

Explanation:

In this specific scenario, a proper indorsement of the check would be to Smith only, or Jones only, or Smith and Jones. That is because a check needs to be as specific as possible and cannot have various options. The check needs to be made to a single specific individual and if it is for more than one individual then both need to be included as a requirement (and). Making it so that both recipients must cash the check together for it to be accepted.

Winners of the Georgia Lotto drawing are given the choice of receiving the winning amount divided equally over 2222 years or as

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

0 i.e. zero

Explanation:

The formula we will us to calculate the cash option payout for formula for calculating the present value (PV) .

Present value (PV) can simply be described as the current value of a future amount or future stream of cash flows given a certain return rate.

To calculate the PV of a future cash flow, we will discount it by using the discount rate.

The formula is provided as follows:

PV = FV/(1 + r)^n ............................................ (1)

Where,

PV = Present Value = ?

r = discount rate = 66% = 0.66

FV = annual future value = $863,636.36

n = number of years = 2222 years

Note that the annual future value calculated by diving the $1919 million by 2222 years and this give us $863,636.36 (i.e. 1,919,000,000 ÷ 2222 = $863,636.36).

Substituting the figures above into equation (1), we obtain:

PV = 863,636.36/(1 + 0.66)^2222

= 863,636.36/(1.66)^2222

= 863,636.36/∞

PV = 0

This is because, the division of any number by infinity is equal to zero. And if we multiply by zero by 2222, it will still give us zero PV.

Therefore, the cash option payout will be zero. It is better the winner take the option of collecting $863,636.36.
