If you were an athlete negotiating a contract, would you want a big signing bonus payable immediately and smaller payments in the future, or vice versa? How about looking at it from the team's perspective?

With that in mind, provide a response to the following:

Suppose two athletes sign 10-year contracts for $80 million. In one case, we're told that the $80 million will be paid in 10 equal installments. In the other case, we're told that the $80 million will be paid in 10 installments, but the installments will increase by 5 percent per year. Who got the better deal? Make sure to provide support for your rationale.

Your answers to the case study should at least be about 300 words not to exceed 500 words in APA format. You can use Word or Excel to assist in completing the case study
