nswer : the investment worth in today’s terms = $ 2249.318
Working notes for the above answer is as under
interest rate is 9% per year
$750 one year from now,
$800 two years from now,
$450 in 3 years,
$350in 4 years,
$450 in 5 years
We will find prasent value for the above figure as under
PV = FV/(1+i)N
PV = 750/(1+0.09)1
= 750/1.09
= 688.0734
PV = 800/(1+0.09)2
= 800/1.1881
= 673.344
PV = 450/(1+0.09)3
= 450/1.2950
= 347.48
PV = 350/(1+0.09)4
= 350/1.4116
= 247.94
PV = 450/(1+0.09)5
= 450/1.4386
= 292.46
Total prasent value for five years are as follow
