What would the value be if the payments occurred for 45 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)


What would the value be if the payments occurred for 70 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

  

  

What would the value be if the payments occurred forever? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

  

An investment offers $5,200 per year for 20 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now.   

If the required return is 7 percent, what is the value of the investment? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1:

Calculation of present value if the annual receipts occur for 20 years:

Given data,

Annuity = $5200

Period = 20 years

Let Investment be x

Formula:

Present Value = Annuity (PVAF (7%, 20 years))

x = $5200 * 10.594

x = $55088.80

Present Value = $55088.80

Requirement 2:

Calculation of present value if the annual receipts occur for 45 years:

Given data,

Annuity = $5200

Period = 45 years

Let Investment be x

Formula:

Present Value = Annuity (PVAF (7%, 45 years))

x = $5200 * 13.6055

x = $70748.60

Present Value = $70748.60

Requirement 3:

Calculation of present value if the annual receipts occur for 70 years:

Given data,

Annuity = $5200

Period = 70 years

Let Investment be x

Formula:

Present Value = Annuity (PVAF (7%, 70 years))

x = $5200 * 14.1604

x = $73634.08

Present Value = $73634.08

Requirement 4:

Calculation of present value if the annual receipts occur forever:

Given data,

Annuity = $5200

Period = Forever

Let Investment be x

Formula:

Present Value = Annuity / Rate of return

= $5200 / 7%

= $74285.71

Present Value = $74285.71
