ou are given the following stream of cash flows: Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 $100,000 $110,000 $120,000 $130,000 $140,000 A. If you thought the appropriate discount rate was 10%, what would be the present value of this cash flow stream today at t=0? B. If you thought the appropriate interest/discount rate was 10%, what would be the future value of this cash flow stream in five years at t=5 years?
Present Value calculation
Present Value is calculated using the below formula:
PV = Cn/(1+r)n
where r is the discount rate, Cn is the cash flow at year n
C1 = 100000, C2 = 110000, C3 = 120000, C4 = 130000, C5 = 140000
Present value of C1 = 100000/(1+10%)1 = 100000/(1.1)1 = 90909.0909090909
Present value of C2 = 100000/(1+10%)2 = 100000/(1.1)2 = 90909.0909090909
Present value of C3 = 100000/(1+10%)3 = 100000/(1.1)3 = 90157.7761081893
Present value of C4 = 100000/(1+10%)4 = 100000/(1.1)4 = 88791.7491974592
Present value of C5 = 100000/(1+10%)5 = 100000/(1.1)5 = 86928.9852282817
Total Present value = 447696.692352112
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Cash flow | 100000 | 110000 | 120000 | 130000 | 140000 |
Present value | 90909.09 | 90909.09 | 90157.78 | 88791.75 | 86928.99 |
Future value calculation
Future value is calculated using the below formula
FV = C*(1+r)n
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
Cash flow | 100000 | 110000 | 120000 | 130000 | 140000 |
Future value of C1 at (t=5) = 100000*(1+10%)4 = 100000*1.14 = 146410
Future value of C2 at (t=5) = 100000*(1+10%)3 = 100000*1.13 = 146410
Future value of C3 at (t=5) = 100000*(1+10%)2 = 100000*1.12 = 145200
Future value of C4 at t=5 = 100000*(1+10%)1 = 100000*1.11 = 143000
Future value of C5 at t=5 = 140000
Total future value at t=5) = 146410+146410+145200+143000+140000 = 721020
