We can compare two financial alternatives only when we have present or future worth of each alternative. We cannot compare present worth of one alternative with the future worth of another alternative. We can either choose to calculate present or future worth of each of the alternatives. I would prefer to calculate present worth of each case.
Case 1
Present worth of alternative =PW1= $5000
Case 2
Rate of interest=i=7% per year
Time period=n=10 years
Future Value of offering=FV=$10000
PW of alternative=FV/(1+i)^n=10000/(1+7%)^10=$5083.49
Present worth of second alternative is more. So, I would prefer second alternative i.e. $10000 in ten years.
