An investment offers $3,527 per year for 18 years, with the first payment occurring 1 year from now. If the required return is 4 percent, what is the value of the investment?
Givne about an investment,
It offers PMT = $3527 at each year end for next t = 18 years
required return r = 4%
So, value of investment can be calculated using PV formula of annuity,
PV = PMT*(1 - (1+r)^-t)/r = 3527*(1 - 1.04^-18)/0.04 = $44649.34
So, value of investment is $44649.34
