A construction firm wants to buy a building site and has a choice between three different payment schedules: a) Pay $67,000 in cash b) Pay $12,000 per year for 8 years, where the first instalment is to be paid at once c) Pay $22,000 in cash and thereafter $7000 per year for 12 years, where the first instalment is to be paid after 1 year Determine which schedule is least expensive if the interest rate is 11.5% and the firm has at least $67,000 available to spend in cash. What happens if the firm can only afford $22,000 as an immediate payment?
