Multiple Choice

A vintner is deciding when to release a vintage of sauvignon blanc. If it is bottled and released now, the wine will be worth $2.2 million.

If the interest rate is 7%, what is the difference in the benefit the vintner will realise if he releases the wine after barrel-aging it for one year or if he releases the wine now?
