By $297 Nancy cash flow are more worthy in present value terms.

Explanation:

Marry

APV = C x [ (1 - (1 + i) ^-n) / i ]

C = Monthly payment = $9,900

Interest rate = i = 12% = 0.12

n = number of years = 34 years

APV = $9,900 x [ (1 - (1 + 0.12) ^-34) / 0.08 ]

APV = $800 x 11.2578

APV = $82,203

Nancy

PV of perpetuity = Cash flow / Interest rate = $9,900 / 0.12 = $82,500

Difference = $82,500 - $82,203 = $297

By $297 Nancy cash flow are more worthy.
