Âsuppose you have a choice between receiving a lump-sum payment of $10,000 today or four annual payments of $2,750 (with the first payment today).

of the following, which is the highest annual interest rate at which you would prefer the four annual payments over the lump-sum payment?

a. 2%b. 5%c. â7%d. 10%

a. 2%

Explanation:

That interest rate will be preferred where present value of $2,750 for four years is highest .

To calculate present value for four years , we will use uniform payment table for present value at 2%,5%,7% and 10% rate.

Present value factor

at 2%- 3.8077 value - 2750* 3.8077 = 10471.2

At 5% - 3.5460 value - 2750* 3.5460 = 9751.5

With increase in interest rates , amount will be reduced .

Therefore 2% will be the highest rate acceptable.

balanced lifestyle would be the type of lifestyle that fulfill all aspects of our life, including financial security, personal achievements, emotional balance, and intimate relationships with other people.

for me personally, the job that i would choose to achieve a balanced lifestyle is opening an online store.

online store can be managed from the comfort of our phone. if we are the owner of the store, we can determine our own working hours. we can arrange our working hours so we have time to do things such as taking care of children, cultivating romantic relationship, or do our hobby.
