1. You are facing two investment opportunities. The first one will return you with an uneven stream of cash flows. The second one is annuity payments. Assume a 4.8% discount rate (your opportunity cost for money) and payments are in the end-of-period.

(2a) How much you are willing to pay for this uneven stream of cash flows? Round to the nearest whole dollar.

Year Cash Flow

1 $3,300

2 $3,300

3 $4,500

4 $5,300

(2b) If the investment will provide you with $4200 end-of-period payments for the next four years. How much you are willing to pay for the annuity?

(2c) If there is another annuity payments that will break-even with the uneven stream of cash flows (in part 2a), how much you should receive each year from the annuity investment?

Hint: if two investments break-even, they should have the same present value.
