Answer:

As the first payment occurs on option 7 n interest rate higher enough can make the 50 dollars received first make the difference.

The switch produced at a rate of :

300%

Interest rate below this mark favor option 6

while higher than this favor option 7

Explanation:

Option 6

perpetuity of 100 discounted 1.5 year

\frac{100}{r} (1+r)^{-1.5}

perpetuity of 50 every 3 years discounted 3 years

as the payment are every three years we calcualte an equivalent rate:

(1+r)^{3} -1 =r_e

\frac{50}{(1+r)^{3} -1} (1+r)^{-1.5}

Option 7

perpetuity of 50 discounted 1 year

\frac{50}{r} (1+r)^{-1}

perpetuity of 100 every 2 years discounted 2.5 years

equivalent biannual rate

(1+r)^{2} -1 =r_e

\frac{100}{(1+r)^{2} -1} (1+r)^{-2.5}

having the formulas

we can do it on excel solver to look at which rate the switch produces

Answer:

b. $103,345

Explanation:

Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

Owner's Equity (Year 1) = $908,100 - $267,845

                                       = $640,255

Owner's Equity (Year 2) = $980,279 - $233,892

                                        = $746,387

increase in Owner's Equity = Owner's Equity (Year 2) - Owner's Equity (Year 1)  

                                             = $746,387 - $640,255

                                             = $106,132

Net income during Year 2 = Increase in Owner's Equity - Additional investment + Withdrawals

                                            = $106,132 - $28,658 + $25,871

                                            = $103,345

Therefore, the amount of net income during Year 2 is $103.345.
