Expert Solution

a). Computation of the value of first option:-

PV = Annuity * ((1-(1+rate)^-n)/rate)

Here,

Rate = 8%/12 = 0.6667% (monthly)

n = 3*12 = 36 periods (monthly)

PV = $7,300*((1-(1+0.6667%)^-36)/0.6667%)

= $7,300*31.91181

= $232,956.18

 

b). Computation of the value of second option:-

Total value = Annuity * ((1-(1+rate)^-n)/rate) + Joining bonus

= $6,000*((1-(1+0.6667%)^-36)/0.6667%) + $32,500

= $6,000*31.91181 + $32,500

= $191,470.83 + $32,500

= $223,970.83
