Answer #1

solution:

PV of the payments of 1 at time 1,3,5,... is

   = v+(v3)+(v5)+...

= v/(1-(v^2))

= 9.76
PV of payments of 2,3,4,...,at time 2,4,6,... candetermined by increasing annuity at effective rate

j=1.052 for a 2-year period.
So the PV of the increasing payments is
=(2/j)+(1/(j2)) = 19.51 + 95.18

= 114.69

PV of the total perpetuity = 114.69 + 9.76

= 124.45

Here the PV given (114.69) is as of t=1, not t=0.

so the solution is

=9.76 + (19.51 + 95.18)(1.05^-1)

= 118.94
