11. Consider the following cash flows:
Time Period |
Expected Cash Flows |
|
1 |
$100 |
|
2 |
$400 |
|
3 |
$500 |
|
4 |
??CF?? |

5 |
$800 |

Note that the present value of all five cash flows (including the “unknown” cash flow at the end of year 4) is $1,771.99. What is the value of the “unknown” cash flow at period 4? (Worth 2 points)
Answer) Cash flow for fourth year = 700
Total present value = PV 0f 1st year + PV 0f 2nd year + PV 0f 3rd year + PV 0f 4th year + PV 0f 5th year
1771.99 = 90.909 + 330.579 + 375.657 + PV 0f 4th year + 496.737
PV 0f 4th year = 1771.99 – (90.909 + 330.579 + 375.657 + 496.737)
PV 0f 4th year = 1771.99 - 1293.882
Present value of 4th year @ 10% = 478.108
Cash flow for fourth year = Present value of 4th year/pvf of fourth year at 10%
Cash flow for fourth year = 478.108/0.6830
Cash flow for fourth year = 700
table showing calculation of present value factor and present value of cash inflow
year | cash inflow | pvf @ 10% | present value of cash inflow |
1 | 100 | 0.9091 | 90.909 |
2 | 400 | 0.8264 | 330.579 |
3 | 500 | 0.7513 | 375.657 |
4 | 700 | 0.6830 | 478.109 |
5 | 800 | 0.6209 | 496.737 |
Total present value | 1771.99 |
