Why not just let kids join activities without all these conditions?

I like the idea of good citizen points, but it should be balanced.

Wait, are we really tying fun activities to behavior points? Seems off.

No problem, this is straightforward. I'll just need to find the present value of the $20,550 at the end of year 2, using the 10% discount rate. The answer should be one of the multiple choice options.

I'm not entirely sure about the best approach here. I'll need to review the options closely.
