| # 1: Calculation of present value factor | |||||||||||
| Present value of annuity of 1 | = | (1-(1+i)^-n)/i | Where, | ||||||||
| = | (1-(1+0.025)^-20)/0.025 | i | = | 2.5% | |||||||
| = | 15.58916229 | n | = | 20 | |||||||
| Present Value of 1 | = | (1+i)^-n | |||||||||
| = | (1+0.025)^-20 | ||||||||||
| = | 0.610270943 | ||||||||||
