Question

In problem 42, we need to find present value for an 8-yearcontract with a deferred bonus with an 11% interest rate. How do Icalculate this? I'm confused because there are 8 separate salaries.Do they have to be calculated individually? If so, do I still usethe PV formula: =C x[1-present value factor]/r Question: Manny Ramirez signed an 8 year contract worth $160 million.Including a deferred signing bonus, he would receive $16 million in2001, $18.5 million in 2002, $21 million in 2003, $23.5 million in2004, $23 million in 2005, $20 million in 2006, $18 million in2007, and $20 million in 2008. If the appropriate interest rate is11%, what kind of deal did he catch? Assume the first payment ismade immediately, and the next payment occurs in exactly oneyear.

Explanation / Answer

U need to find PV of each year's salary to arrive at NPV As first payment is imemdiate, CF1 = Y1 Salary. K=11% NPV = CF1+CF2/(1+K)^1 +CF3/(1+K)^2.................+CF8/(1+K)^7 So NPV = 16+18.5/(1+0.11) + 21/(1+0.11)^2 + 23.5/(1+0.11)^3+23/(1+0.11)^4+20/(1+0.11)^5+18/(1+0.11)^6+20/(1+0.11)^7 Solving we get, NPV = 101.96 SO PV of 8 Yr contract of $160M is $101.96M
