Answer:
The athlete with equal installments got the better deal.
Explanation:
Two athletes each sign 10-year contracts for $80 million.
In one case, we’re told that the $80 million will be paid in 10 equal installments.
In the other case, the $80 million will be paid in 10 installments, but the installments will increase by 5 percent per year.
The one with equal installments will get $8 million every year.
But the one with increasing installments will get smaller payments initially as his payments were to be increased by 5% each year.
Though the total value of both the annuities will remain the same.
