On August 1, 2016, Jason purchased machinery from Morgan for expanding its production operation. Morgan has given Jason three options for payment:
a.$300,000 in cash nowb.$150,000 down payment now and $50,000 per year for the next ten years beginning August 1, 2017c.$100,000 now and $100,000 per year for five years beginning August 1, 2017?
Required:Determine which of the above payment plans has the lowest present value. Clearly label all of your work. The effective annual interest rate is expected to be 12% during this period.

What will be an ideal response?


a.Present value $300,000
??
b.Present value of an ordinary annuity:
??
?PVOn,i= $150,000 + (C´Factor for POn,i,) where n = 10, i = 12%
??= $150,000 + $50,000´5.650223
??= $432,511
???
c.Present value of an annuity due:
???
?PVd= C´Factor for Pdn= 6-1, i = 12%
???
?Table factor of n-1:?
?Table factor for 5  3.604776
??+1.000000
?Converted table factor  4.604776
???
?PVd= $100,000(4.604776)
??= $460,478
???
The lowest present value is payment plan a.
