If an investment pays you $54,000 every 6 months for 3 years, what is its present value?
Following Table provided -
Present value Factor | Present Value Annuity Factor | |||
Period | Half-year | Full-year | Half-year | Full-year |
1 | 0.9578 | 0.9174 | 0.9578 | 0.9174 |
2 | 0.9174 | 0.8417 | 1.8753 | 1.7591 |
3 | 0.8787 | 0.7722 | 2.7540 | 2.5313 |
4 | 0.8417 | 0.7084 | 3.5957 | 3.2397 |
5 | 0.8062 | 0.6499 | 4.4019 | 3.8897 |
6 | 0.7722 | 0.5963 | 5.1740 | 4.4859 |
Computation of Present value of Investment
Half yearly (6-months) = $54,000
No. of Payment(t) = 3*2 = 6
Effective rate = 9%
thus,
We can calculate the Present value of Investment with following equation -
where,
I = Present value of investment
P = Periodic payment (every 6 months)
n = no of payment
r = interest rate for one period
putting the values -
value of Present value annuity factor (PVAIF) provided in table, see- (Period-6, Present value Annuity factor, Half year)
(rounded to nearest dollar)
