1. Charlotte Question
Present Worth of Receipts = $600000 / (1 + r)^n + $800000 / (1 + r)^n + $800000 / (1 + r)^n
r = Interest Rate
n = Time
Present Worth of Receipts = $600000 / (1 + 0.072)^0 + $800000 / (1 + 0.072)^1 + $800000 / (1 + 0.072)^2
Present Worth of Receipts = $600000 + $800000 * 0.932836 + $800000 * 0.870183
Present Worth of Receipts = $2042414.79 Option 2

Present Value of Annuity receipts = Annuity * (1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r
Present Value of Annuity receipts = 250000 * (1 - (1 + 0.06)^-30) / 0.06
Present Value of Annuity receipts = 250000 * (1 - 0.17411) / 0.06
Present Value of Annuity receipts = $3441207.79 Option 4
Carolyn Taylor Question
Future Worth of Present investment = Year 1 Investment * (1 + r)^n + Year 2 Investment * (1 + r)^n + Year 3 Investment * (1 + r)^n + Year 4 Investment * (1 + r)^n
Future Worth of Present investment = 20 Million * (1 + 0.055)^3 + 24 Million * (1 + 0.055)^2 + 28 Million * (1 + 0.055)^1 + 32 Million * (1 + 0.055)^0
Future Worth of Present investment = $111737430 Option 2
