Winning a lottery,

a) Lump sum option = $600,000;

b) Yearly option = $772,173.49

Not winning a lottery,

Grand savings will be = $86,322.50

Explanation:

Requirement 1) Winning a Lottery -

a) If I take the lump sum option, I will get the tax-deducted amount. Since the tax rate is 40%, I will get -

= $1,000,000 x (1 - 0.40)

= $1,000,000 x 0.60

= $600,000

b) If I choose the second option, I might get -

PV = PMT x [{1 - (1+r)^(-n)}/r]

PV = $100,000 x [{1 - (1+0.05)^(-10)}/0.05]

PV = $100,000 x 7.7217

PV = $772,173.49

From the above calculation, I will accept the yearly payment as it provides more earnings than the lump sum amount.

Requirement 2) Not Winning a Lottery -

Every day earnings = $5

Yearly earnings = $5 x 365 = $1,825

If I retire at the age of 65 years, therefore, I will save for (65 - 22) = 43 years.

Therefore, the savings will be = 43 x $1,825 = $78,475

If the savings for the average interest rate 10%, the total will be =

$78,475 x (1 + 0.10) = $86,322.50

Therefore, I will have $86,322.50 when I retire at age 65.

Requirement 3) If I started this plan later in my life, I would lose savings for how many years I wait for the started savings. For example, If I began at the age of 30, I would lose eight years of savings. Therefore, I would lose 7*$1,825 = $12,775 savings. I would also lose the grand savings of $12,775 x (1 + 0.10) = $14,052.50.

Therefore, for each year's of delay would lose $1,825.00 amounts.
