A friend of yours is considering quitting his job as an engineer to become a wedding photographer. He thinks that he will make more money this way. His current job as an engineer pays him $87,500 annually. To switch to wedding photography, he will have to purchase photography equipment that will cost him $12,000. He also does not expect to make much money when he first starts out. He estimates that he would make $39,000 in his first year. But as he gets his name out there, he expects to make $7500 more each year. Assuming an interest rate of 5% and a 20-year analysis period, compute the net present worth of both options to recommend to your friend whetherhe should become a wedding photographer or not. Answer: ???= $1,090,425, ?W?= $1,212 ,678 Can someone show how this was solved?
