Explanation / Answer

3%:

Present value=$11250*Present value of annuity factor(3%,15)+$225000*Present value of discounting factor(3%,15)

=$11250*11.93794+225000*0.64186

=$278720(Approx).

NOTE:

1.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

=$11250[1-(1.03)^-15]/0.03

=$11250*11.93794

2.Present value of discounting factor=$225000/1.03^15

=$225000*0.64186

4%:

Present value=$11250*Present value of annuity factor(4%,15)+$225000*Present value of discounting factor(4%,15)

=$11250*11.11839+225000*0.55526

=$250015(Approx).

NOTE:

1.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

=$11250[1-(1.04)^-15]/0.04

=$11250*11.11839

2.Present value of discounting factor=$225000/1.04^15

=$225000*0.55526
