Payments increase each yearby 3% in Choice 1 and by 5% in Choice 2. If the discount rate is 6%, calculate the PV of each choice. Show your work and solve for an exact answer. (8 points)PV1 = 10,000 + 10,000(1.03)/(.06-.03) = 353,333.33 PV2 = 5,000 + 5,000(1.05)/(.06-.05) = 530,0007. Setup a formula to solve for how much money you would have to put aside today so that you have exactly $1 million 50 years from today if you earn a 4% annual rate compounded monthly. (6 points) Setup your answer in detail but do not solve PV = 1,000,000/(1+.04/12)6008.
