    400000 (.05) = 20000

    20000 (8) = 160000

    400000+160000=

    560000

    425000 (.04) = 17000

    17000 (8) = 136000

    425000+136000=

    561000

    Athlete would take the $425,000 with 4%

    I believe the 8 year contract which is increased by 5% each year will be $991.08. And the 4% will be $1,007.20. So she would want the 8 year contract with the 4% increase.
