Question 2

Correct Answer:

PV of A = $10,000; PV of B = $11,167.90; FV of A = $17,908.48; FV of B = $20,000.Based on both present values and future values,B is the better choice.Students should explain that computing present values and computing future values are simply inverse processes of one another,and that choosing between two lump sums based on present values will always give the same result as choosing between the same two lump sums based on future values.
