Explanation / Answer

Option D $9263

1. Computation of Difference between  present value:

a. Present Value if the annual installments paid at the end of year

Present Value = Annual Installment * PVAF ( 9%, 22Y)

Present Value = 10900 * 9.4424

Present Value = $102922.16

b. Present Value if the annual installments paid at the beginning of year

Present Value = Annual Installment * PVA due factor ( 9%, 22Y)

Present Value = 10900 * 10.2922

Present Value = $112184.98

c. Difference in Present Values = $112184.98 - $102922.16

Difference in Present Values = $9263
