A new start-up company promises to pay an investor each quarter for the next two years. The company will pay $22,225.00 per quarter for the first four quarters, and then $25,075.00 per quarter for the following four quarters. If the investor wants a 8.40% APR return with quarterly compounding, what is the value of the investment opportunity today?
The value is computed as follows:
Present value = Future value / (1 + r)n
r is computed as follows:
= 8.4% / 4
= 2.1% or 0.021
So, the amount will be as follows:
= $ 22,225 / 1.0211 + $ 22,225 / 1.0212 + $ 22,225 / 1.0213 + $ 22,225 / 1.0214 + $ 25,075 / 1.0215 + $ 25,075 / 1.0216 + $ 25,075 / 1.0217 + $ 25,075 / 1.0218
= $ 172,071.59 Approximately
