Expert Solution

a)

i)

Amouts are being Paid at the beginning of the Year

Present value of Perpetuity due = (Periodic Payments / Interest rate) + Periodic Payment

  lottery worth Today = (250,000 / 5%) + 250000

$5,250,000

ii)

Present value of annuity due = X*[1 - (1+r)^-n / r ] *(1+r)

r = rate of interest

n = number of periods

5,250,000 = X*[1 - (1+5%)^-30 / 5%]

X = 5,250,000 / 16.14107

X = $325,257.18

b)

Future value = Present value*(1+r)^n

r = rate of interest

n = number of periods

Future value = 100,000*(1+5%)^5

Future value = 127,628.16

Total Interest earned = Future value - Initial investment

Total interest = 127,628.16 - 100,000 = 27,628.16

Simple Interest per Year = 100,000*5% = 5000

For 5 Years = 5*5000 = 25,000

So Interest on interest = 27,628.16 - 25000 = $2,628.16
