Suppose you are offered two jobs. One pays $30,000 the first year with annual raises of $2,000 each year. The second offers a starting salary of 27,000 and raises of 8% each year. Over a ten-year period, how much would you earn from
(a)the first job? (b) the second job?

(a) salary = 30000+ 10*2000 = $50,000.00
--------------
(b)salary = 27000 + 27000(1.08)^10 = $85,290
