27.)
Your grandmother has told you she can either give you $4,100 now or $5,600 when you graduate from college in three years. Your savings account earns 6% interest, compounded annually. Which option would be worth more to you now, and how much more? (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Round your PV factor to 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
The $4,100 now is worth $600.00 more than the $5,600 in the future.
The $5,600 in the future is worth $601.76 more than the $4,100 now.
The $4,100 now is worth $601.76 more than the $5,600 in the future.
The $5,600 in the future is worth $600.00 more than the $4,100 now.

Frank Inc. is trying to decide whether to lease or purchase a piece of equipment needed for the next ten years. The equipment would cost $45,000 to purchase, and maintenance costs would be $5,600 per year. After ten years, Frank estimates it could sell the equipment for $27,000. If Frank leased the equipment, it would pay a set annual fee that would include all maintenance costs. Frank has determined after a net present value analysis that at its hurdle rate of 12%, it would be better off by $5,500 if it buys the equipment. What would the approximate annual cost be if Frank were to lease the equipment? (Future Value of $1, Present Value of $1, Future Value Annuity of $1, Present Value Annuity of $1.) (Round your PV factors to 4 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest hundred.)
