What is the value today of $1,600 per year, at a discount rate of 11 percent, if the first payment is received 8 years from now and the last payment is received 30 years from today? Multiple Choice $6,370.55 $6,243.14 $13,326.29 $6,300.66 $2,947.38
Answer:-
The following informations are given in the question:-
Cash flow per period = $ 1,600
Discount rate = 11% = 0.11
The value of payment 7 years from now is equal to the present value of ordinary annuity (where, 7 years = 8 -1 )
The formula for present value of ordinary annuity is given by:-
Present value of ordinary annuity =
where, C = Cash flow per period
i = discount rate
n = number of payments
Present value of ordinary annuity =
= 1600 x [ (1- 0.0906925) / 0.11]
= 1600 x [ 0.9093075 / 0.11]
= 1600 x 8.26643
= 13,226.291
Present value = 13,226.291 / (1+ 0.11) ^ 7
= $ 6,370.55
Hence, the correct option is A. The value today is $ 6,370.55
