Question

An investment offers $6,500 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.) Present value 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.) Present value 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.) Present value 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.) Present value

Explanation / Answer

Formula for PV of annuity is:

PV = P x [1-(1+r)-n/r]      

P = Periodic cash flow = $ 6,500

r = Rate per period = 7 % or 0.07 p.a.

n = Numbers of periods

Requirement 1:

n = 20

PV = $ 6,500 x [1-(1+0.07)-20/0.07]

     = $ 6,500 x [1-(1.07)-20/0.07]

    = $ 6,500 x [1-(1.07)-20/0.07]

   = $ 6,500 x [(1-0.258419)/0.07]

   = $ 6,500 x (0.741581/0.07)

= $ 6,500 x 10.59401

   = $ 68,861.09

Requirement 2:

n = 45

PV = $ 6,500 x [1-(1+0.07)-45/0.07]

     = $ 6,500 x [1-(1.07)-45/0.07]

    = $ 6,500 x [1-(1.07)-45/0.07]

   = $ 6,500 x [(1- 0.04761349)/0.07]

   = $ 6,500 x (0.95238651/0.07)

= $ 6,500 x 13.6055216

   = $ 88,435.89

Requirement 3:

n = 70

PV = $ 6,500 x [1-(1+0.07)-70/0.07]

     = $ 6,500 x [1-(1.07)-70/0.07]

    = $ 6,500 x [1-(1.07)-70/0.07]

   = $ 6,500 x [(1- 0.00877275)/0.07]

   = $ 6,500 x (0.99122725/0.07)

= $ 6,500 x 14.1603893

   = $ 92,042.53

Requirement 4:

Formula for PV of perpetuity is:

PV = Periodic cash flow/Rate of interest

      = $ 6,500/0.07 = $ 92,857.14
