Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $14 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next 12 weeks. He can either pay $14 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 6 percent discount and, by doing so, earns the 81 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. |
