Question

amount of money you calculated in (b), and had lnvesied It T much would they have in 2014, 118 years after his death? 9. You work for a pharmaceutical company that has developed a new drug. The patent on the drug will last 17 years. You expect that the drug's profits will be $2 million in its first year and that this amount will grow at a rate of 5% per year for the next 17 years. Once the patent expires, other pharmaceutical companies will be able to produce the same drug and competition will likely drive profits to zero. What is the present value of the new drug if the interest rate is 10% per year?

Explanation / Answer

Present value=2/1.1+2*1.05/1.1^2.....
=2/1.1*(1-(1.05/1.1)^17)/(1-1.05/1.1)
=$21.86145579 million
