They are both the same because when you Multiply 10,000 and 6% you get 600 and then you multiply that by 10 years you get 6,000 dollars and than you do the same with the 5% but multiply the sum by 12 years and you get 6,000 also so gives you that they are both the some income so I would say Michael should just keep the $10,000
