Expert Solution

Option 1
$10 starting a year from now
Interest rate	12.00%



PV of perpetuity
	Coupon/interest Rate
	10/0.12
	83.33







PV of perpetuity of $ 83.33

	PV_p/(1+r)^t

PV_p	Present Value of perpetuity of $10
	$83.33
	83.33/(1+0.12)¹
	74.40

Therefore the present value of this option is $74.40


Option 2
$1.5 per quarter increasing @1% per quarter
Quaterly Interest Rate	12/4
	3.00%
Annuity Growth rate	1.00%
PV of increasing annuity	Coupon payment/(interest rate - Growth Rate)
	1.5/(0.03-0.01)
	75
PV of today

PV of perpetuity of $ 75	PV_p/(1+r)^t
	75/(1+0.03)¹
	72.82

Therefore the present value of this option is $72.82

Thus the perpetuity of $10 per year one year from now should be preferred because its Present value is greater.
