Question

If the required return is 6 percent, what is the value of the investment today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Present value =

What would the value today be if the payments occurred for 40 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Present value =

What would the value today be if the payments occurred for 75 years? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Present value =

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

Present value =

An investment offers $5,600 per year for 15 years, with the first payment occurring one year from now.

Explanation / Answer

Present value of annuity = P×[1-(1÷(1+r)^n)]÷r

r is interest rate per period

P is payment per period

n is number of payments

= $5,600×[1-(1÷(1+6%)^15)]÷6%

= $54,388.59

= $5,600×[1-(1÷(1+6%)^40)]÷6%

= $84,259.26

= $5,600×[1-(1÷(1+6%)^75)]÷6%

= $92,152.75

Forever:

= $5,600/6%

= $93,333.33
