Explanation / Answer

Hi,

PFA the correct answer as follows:

Payment schedule for David Beckham

Present value = 2+10/(1+9%)^1+9/(1+9%)^1+7/(1+9%)^1+6/(1+9%)^1+5/(1+9%)^1+4/(1+9%)^1+4/(1+9%)^1+2/(1+9%)^1+1/(1+9%)^1+1/(1+9%)^1

=$38.11 million

Hence, the present value of allthe money is $38.11 million

-----------

Present value of cash flows = 600/(1+10%)^1-600/(1+10%)^2+600/(1+10%)^3-600/(1+10%)^4

=$90.57

Hence,the present value is $90.57
