Consider two different investments:

A continuous income stream $($that you continuously invest$)$ of $$100,000$ per year for five years.

A lump sum payout now of $$450,000.$

In both investments, all money is invested in an account bearing $4\mathrm{.}5\%$ interest, compounded continuously.

Make comparisons for their present value and future value, rounding your answer to $2$ decimals:

Present value of Investment $1$:

$P={\displaystyle \underset{0}{\overset{5}{}}}100,000*e^{-\mathrm{.}045}dt=-24447,7441\mathrm{.}74$

Present value of Investment $2$:

Do both comparisons give the same conclusion? Should they give the same conclusion? Briefly explain.

Conclusion: Based on the two comparisons you've made, Investment

is better $($put $"1"$ or $"2").$
