Question 2

Michael received a professional baseball contract paying 7,000,000 for 5 years, Bert received a two-year contract for 16,000,000 per year. For purposes of calculations, treat these contracts as ordinary annuities.
 
  What are the present values of each contract if we assume a discount rate of 6? It is not clear that the higher present value is the preferred contract in this situation. What other factors might you consider when determining which contract has greater value?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Bert = 29,334,283, Michael = 29,486,547. What happens to Bert in years 3,4, and 5? If he makes no more money than this is a fair comparison, but if he continues to play professional ball at a high level, then he can expect a fair amount of money in the subsequent three years. Later we will see how financial managers make comparisons such as this.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).
