- Graded 1: Provide Sue with financial advice on which option has the potential to yield the highest monetary value. Support your rational with calculations using time value of money and comment on the risk return relationship for each option, assume interest rate on savings is 4% and is compounded semi-annually. Sue James is a 55-year old accountant who works at Ernst and Young (EY) who is about to retire. She has the following decision to make: Option A – Select a lump sum gratuity payment of $120,000 with a reduced pension of $1,750 per month.

The payoffs are: $2 million after 1-year, a 100% return; or $300,000 a year forever. Neither investment is risky, and safe securities are yielding 7%. Which investment should you take? You can’t take both, so the choices are mutually exclusive. Should you want to earn a high percentage, or should you want to be rich? Applying the net present value method and the internal rate of return method should help to guide you in your decision. And, the present value of a perpetuity is equal to the cash payment divided by the interest rate. Earn a high percentage. Be rich.arrow_forward4.
