  1. A has to pay $ 22 to B after 1 year. B asks A to pay $ 110 in cash and defers the payment of $ 110 for 2 years. A agrees to it. Counting the rate of interest at 10% per annum in this new mode of payment,
    1. there is no gain or loss to anyone.
    2. A gains $ 7.34
    3. A loses $ 7.34
    4. A gains $ 11
Correct Option: B

A has to pay the P.W. of $ 220 due 1 year hence,
which is

A pays = $
100 x 220
= $ 200
100 + (10 x 1)

A actually pays = $ [110 + P.W. of $ 110 due 2 years].
= $110 +
100 x 110
= $ 192.66
100 + (8 x 2)

∴ A gains = $ [200 - 192.66] = $ 7.34.
