    She should choose to take a lump-sum of $271,000 now. This is the best option since the other option would have a present value less than $271,000. If you use the present value annuity calculator, you can get the present value of the installment option to be $259,768.60. Therefore, the the lump - sum payment option is the most appropriate.
