What is the present value of an investment that yields $500 to be received in 5 years and $1,000 to be received in 10 years if the discount rate is 4 percent?
The present value is the current value of a sum of money to be received in the future. It is calculated by discounting the cash flows at a discount rate. Higher the discount rate, lower the present value of cash flows.
Present Value = Future Value(1+r)^n
r=Rate of return
n=Number of periods
Calculating the present value of an investment given in the question,
Cash inflow in year 5 = $500
Cash inflow in year 10 = $1000
r = 4%
PV =
PV =
PV = 411 + 676 = $1087
Hence, Present value of future cash flows is $1087
