At a discount rate of 10 percent, what is the present value of these future benefits? (
Present Value of a cash flow can be calculated using the formula
Present Value, PV = Cash Flow * Discount Factor
Discount Factor, DF = 1/(1+r)t
Where r = discount rate
t = time to the cash flow
Present Value of all the cash flows can be calculated by the formula
This formula can be used to calculate the present value in a spreadsheet as shown below
Hence the present value of the future benefits = $169,507
