    A perpetuity comprised of $100 monthly payments is worth more than an annuity of $100 monthly payments provided the discount rates are equal.

    Explanation:

    There is the basic difference of time duration in the payments. Under perpetuity the payments are for an unlimited period, and under annuity the period is defined.

    As the payments are indefinite in perpetuity the amount will be higher in comparison to a limited period payments under annuity, also provided the interest rate is same for both.

    Thus, the chosen statement is correct.
