a. Twenty years from today when the interest rate is 8% per year?The present value of $5,000 received 20 years from today when the interest rate is 8% per year is $____. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
b.Ten years from today when the interest rate is 8% per year? The present value of $5,000 received 10 years from today when the interest rate is 8% per year is $______. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
c. Five years from today when the interest rate is 8% per year? The present value of $5,000 received 5 years from today when the interest rate is 8% per year is $____.(Round to the nearest dollar.)
Present value = PV
Future value = FV
Rate of interest = r
Number of years = t
a.
PV = FV/(1 + r)^ t
= 5,000 / (1 + 0.08) ^ 20
= 5,000 / 1.08 ^ 20
= 5,000 / 4.66095
= 1,072.74 …
= 1,073 (Answer) rounded
b.
PV = FV/(1 + r)^ t
= 5,000 / (1 + 0.08) ^ 10
= 5,000 / 1.08 ^ 10
= 5,000 / 2.15892
= 2,315.97 …
= 2,316 (Answer) rounded
c.
PV = FV/(1 + r)^ t
= 5,000 / (1 + 0.08) ^ 5
= 5,000 / 1.08 ^ 5
= 5,000 / 1.46932
= 3,402.93 …
= 3,403 (Answer) rounded
