knows?" the ticket owner explained. "We might not even be here in 20 years, and I do not want to leave it to the dinosaurs." Suppose the ticket pays
$150,000 per year at the end of each year for the next 20 years, and the appropriate rate for discounting the future income is thought to be 5%.
The present value of the ticket is approximately
True or False: If the discount rate is in the 5% range, the sale price of $1,401.999 is reasonable (within 10% of the present value of the ticket).
