Chapter II, Problem 5RQ
To determine
Introduction: Present value (PV) is the current value of a potential capital product or sequence of cash flows when taking into account a specific rate of interest. The amount of funds a certain purchase would be valued after a certain duration of time, given a decent interest rate, is known as future value (interest rate).
If the interest rate is 10% a present value of $100 and a future value of $133.10 at the end of three years are economically equivalent.

In each of the following three cases, state which you would rather receive and briefly explain why: €200 today or €480 in two years? €205 today or €240 in one year? €1,000 in one year or €1,220 in two years?
