3. What is the present value of a 5-year ordinary annuity with annual payments of $200, evaluated at a 10%?
a. $ 670.44 b. $ 758.16 c. $1,121.70 d. $1,470.21 e. $1,500.00
Formula for PV of annuity:
PV = C x [1-(1+r)-n/r]
C = Periodic cash flow = $ 200
r = Rate per period = 10 % or 0.1 p.a.
n = Numbers of periods = 5
PV = $ 200 x [1-(1+0.1)-5/0.1
= $ 200 x [1-(1.1)-5/0.1
= $ 200 x [(1- 0.6209213230592)/0.1]
= $ 200 x [0.3790786769408/0.1]
= $ 200 x 3.790786769408
= $ 758.1573538816 or $ 758.16
Hence option “b. $ 758.16” is correct answer.
