Hi,
Here we will use Present value formula of excel to find out present value of the annuities:
Formula = PV(rate,nper,pmt)
here rate = 5%
nper = payment term
pmt= $6000
hence for part a)
nper = 10 years
so present value of 10 annual payment = PV(5%,10,6000)= $46,330.41
b) present value of 35 annual payment = PV(5%,35,6000)= $98,245.17
c) present value of 65 annual payment = PV(5%,65,6000)= $114,966.42
d) if payment occurs forever it will be perpetuity and formula for perpetuity = payment/interest rate
= 6000/0.05= $120,000
Thanks
