Worked option — the home, with present value. If the home is held about six years then sold, Party B's $150,000 half is received later; at a 4% discount rate that is worth $118,548 today — a present-value reduction of $31,452. The agreed value chosen here carries into the Finances workspace on Resolution and reconciles to the dollar.
