You are considering two investments. The US Treasury offers the first investment: it pays $$1000$ per year forever. An Al firm offers the second investment. It pays $$800$ next year but is expected to grow at $8\%$ forever. Suppose that

the risk$-$free rate is $2\%.$ but the Al firm's cost of capital is $10\%.$ Which investment do you select?

O A$.$ The Al Firm: We must submit to our robotic overlords

$$ B$.$ It does not matter: both have infinite value because they pay forever

$$ C$.$ The Al Firm: Because it grows at $8\%,$ it will be much more than the Ireasury

$$ D$.$ The Treasury: It has a higher present value
