Answer #1

Present Value = Amount * 1/(1+ Rate of Interest)^ Time

= $ 90,000 * 1/(1.07)^12

= $ 39,961.08

Amount received today = $ 45,000

Since, the amount received today is greater than the Present Value of amount to be received 12 years from now, the option to receive today would be accepted.

Answer: Option to receive today.
