At EOY zero (now), a geometric gradient has a positive cash flow of $1,000 and for the following 5 years, it rises by 5 percent each year. At EOY 1, another geometric gradient has a positive value of $2,000, and for years two through five, it decreases 6 percent every year. What geometric gradient would you prefer, if the annual interest rate is 10 percent?

A geometric gradient has a positive cash flow of $1,000 at EOY zero (now), and it increases 5% per year for the following 5 years. Another geometric gradient has a positive value of $2,000 at the EOY 1, and it decreases 6% per year for years two through five. If the annual interest rate is 10%, which geometric gradient would you prefer?
Consider an EOY geometric gradient, which lasts for eight years, whose initial value at EOY one is $5,000 and f= 6% per year thereafter. Find the equivalent uniform gradient amount over the same period if the initial value of the cash flows at the end of year one is $4,000. Answer the following questions to determine the value of the gradient amount, G. The interest rate is 8% per year. Solve, a. What is P0 for the geometric gradient series? b. What is P0 of the uniform (arithmetic) gradient of cash flows? c. What is the value of G?
