This consists of a £400 signing bonus, £650 for year 1, £700 for year 2, £750 for year 3, £800 for year 4 and £1200 for year 5. What is the present value of the bonus today if you anticipate inflation will increase on average by 2% each year?

Company A will pay a salary of $85,000 per year and offers the most common retirement plan 401(k) match, which is 50 cents for each dollar you contribute on up to 6% of your pay. Company B will pay a salary of $75,000 per year and offers a dollar-for-dollar match on up to 10% of your pay.
