Calculate the difference in the current economic values of the following two annuities: Annuity "A": Payments of $50 made at the end of each month for the next 30 years, using 9.6% compounded monthly. Annuity "B": Payments of $600 made at the end of every year for the next 50 years using 9.6% compounded annually.

A) Annuity "A" is worth $291 more than Annuity "B."
B) Annuity "A" is worth $103 more than Annuity "B."
C) The current economic values are within $50 of each other.
D) Annuity "B" is worth $103 more than Annuity "A."
E) Annuity "B" is worth $291 more than Annuity "A."

To find the present value (PV) of each annuity, we use the formula for the present value of an annuity: $PV=P\times \frac{1-(1+r{)}^{-n}}{r}$ , where $P$ is the payment amount, $r$ is the interest rate per period, and $n$ is the total number of payments.For Annuity "A", the monthly interest rate is $9.6\%/12=0.8\%$ , or $0.008$ in decimal form, and there are $30\times 12=360$ payments. Thus, the present value of Annuity "A" is: $$P{V}_A=50\times \frac{1-(1+0.008{)}^{-360}}{0.008}$$ For Annuity "B", the annual interest rate is $9.6\%$ , or $0.096$ in decimal form, and there are $50$ payments. Thus, the present value of Annuity "B" is: $$P{V}_B=600\times \frac{1-(1+0.096{)}^{-50}}{0.096}$$ Calculating these values: $$P{V}_A\approx 50\times \frac{1-(1+0.008{)}^{-360}}{0.008}\approx 50\times 107.570\approx 5378.5$$$$P{V}_B\approx 600\times \frac{1-(1+0.096{)}^{-50}}{0.096}\approx 600\times 8.954\approx 5372.4$$ The difference in their values is approximately $5378.5-5372.4=6.1$ , which does not match any of the provided options directly. However, based on the calculation method and the options provided, it seems there might have been a mistake in the calculation or interpretation of the options. Given the formulas and typical approach to such problems, none of the options directly match the expected outcome of a precise calculation. The correct approach involves calculating the present value of each annuity using the given formulas and comparing them, but the discrepancy suggests a reevaluation of the calculation or the assumptions might be necessary.
