Sagot :

Based on the annuities calculated, he should choose option 1.

How to calculate the annuities?

Present value = $35,000 + (Annuity amount * Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1)

= $35,000 + ($9,400 * (5%,6))

= $35,000 + ($9,400 * 5.07569)

= $35,000 + 47,711

= $82,711

Present value = (Annuity amount * Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1)

= $17,700 * (5%,6)

= $17,700 * 5.07569

= $89,840

Alex should choose Option 1

Future value annuity = Annuity amount * Future value of an ordinary annuity of $1

= $180,000 * (6%,10)

= $180,000 * 13.1808

= $2,372,544
