The Wine Boutique has a continuous income stream with a projected annual rate of flow at time t given by W(t) = 20,200e0.08t    (dollars per year). The initial investment is the same for both businesses, and money is worth 10% compounded continuously. Find the present value of each business over the next 8 years (until the couple reaches age 65) to see which is the better buy.
