Answer 1

Alex should choose option 1 since the present value is the highest

Option 1
                                   64,000
Option 2
                              20,000
4.917324326              8,000                         39,338.59
                              59,339
Option 3
                                   13,000          4.91732
63925.21624

Answer 2

future value cash flow*[((1+R)^n-1)/R]
100000*[((1+0.07)^10-1)/0.07]
  
        13,81,645

Future value = cash flow *  (1+R)^n- 1

R
