What is the present value of a lump sum, $240,000 in 6 years if the interest rate (discount rate) is 11.4 percent annually? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. (e.g., 123,345.16))
Your answer:
Here we will use the following formula:
PV = FV / (1 + r%)n
where, FV = Future value = $240000, PV = Present value, r = rate of interest = 11.4%, n= time period =6
now, putting these values in the above equation, we get,
PV = $240000 / (1 + 11.4%)6
PV = $240000 / (1 + 0.114)6
PV = $240000 / (1.114)6
PV = $240000 / 1.91122204009
PV = $125574.11
So, present value is $125574.11.
