Drilling machine

A manufacturing firm purchased a heavy-duty drilling machine. They were given two payment options:
Option 1: Make a payment of $46,000 immediately to settle the invoice for the machine.
Option 2: Pay $21,500 immediately and the balance of $23,550 in 3 months to settle the invoice.
If money is worth 4.12% compounded quarterly, answer the following:
What is the total present value of Option 2?

Correct answer:

a =  46473.8 USD
b =  45271.45 USD

Step-by-step explanation:

q=1+4.12/4/100=1.0103  a=46000 q=46000 1.0103=46473.8 USD
b=21500 q+23550=21500 1.0103+23550=45271.45=45271.45 USD b>a
