An investment promises to pay you $700 per year starting
immediately. The cash flow from the investment is expected to
increase by 3 percent per year forever. If alternative investments
of similar risk earn a return of 8 percent per year, determine the
maximum you would be willing to pay for the investment.
(Round answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 125.12. Do not
round your intermediate calculations.)
However, 'C' is the amount that is received next year (or in year 1)
C = $700 * (1 + 3%) = $721
PV = $14,420
Value you should be willing today = $14,420 + Amount received today = $14,420 + $700 = $15,120.
