Suppose you win a small lottery and have the choice of two ways to be paid: You can accept the money in a lump sum or in a series of payments over time. If you pick the lump sum payout, you get $2,950 today. If you pick the payments over time payout, you get three payments: $1,000 today, $1,000 one year from today, and $1,000 two years from today. At an interest rate of 8% per year, you would be better off accepting the payout since it has the greater present value. At an interest rate of 10% per year, you would be better off accepting the payout since it has the greater present value. Years after you win the lottery, a friend in another country calls to ask your advice. By wild coincidence, she has just won another lottery with the same payout schemes. She must make a quick decision about whether to collect her money under the lump sum payout or the payments over time payout. What is the best advice to give your friend
