Your father asked for your help. He has been offered an annuity that will pay him $1,933 per month for 23 years. He thinks that the fair return should be 4.4%. What is the most he should be willing to pay for it today?
Formula: The present value of an ordinary annuity (PV)
PV = C× [1-(1+r)^-n]/r
PV = Present value (The cummulative amount available at Present)
C= Periodic cash flow.
r =effective interest rate for the period.
n = number of periods.
PV = 1933× [1-(1+0.3666%)^-276]/0.3666%
PV = $335,200.84
Answer: he should be willing to pay $335,200.84
