    At 9.70% discount rate would you be indifferent between these two plans.

    Explanation:

    Present Value of Perpetuity = P/r

    Present Value of Annuity = P/r[1 - (1 + r) ^-n]

    $14,000/r = $20,000. / r[1 - (1 + r) ^-13]

    (1 + r) ^-13 = 1 - $14,000/$20,000.

    (1 + r) ^13 = 10/3

    r = 9.70%

    Therefore, at 9.70% discount rate would you be indifferent between these two plans.
