- Calculating the Present value of each Investment cash flow stream:-
Year | Cash Flow of Stream of A ($) (a) | Cash Flow of Stream of B ($) (b) | Cash Flow of Stream of C ($) (c) | PV Factor @15% (d) | Present Value of Cash Flow of Stream of A ($) [(a)*(d)] | Present Value of Cash Flow of Stream of B ($) [(b)*(d)] | Present Value of Cash Flow of Stream of C ($) [(c)*(d)] |
1 | 3,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 5,000.00 | 0.86957 | 2,608.696 | 869.57 | 4,347.83 |
2 | 4,000.00 | 1,000.00 | 5,000.00 | 0.75614 | 3,024.575 | 756.14 | 3,780.72 |
3 | 5,000.00 | 1,000.00 | (5,000.00) | 0.65752 | 3,287.581 | 657.52 | (3,287.58) |
4 | (6,000.00) | 1,000.00 | (5,000.00) | 0.57175 | (3,430.519) | 571.75 | (2,858.77) |
5 | 6,000.00 | 4,000.00 | 15,000.00 | 0.49718 | 2,983.060 | 1,988.71 | 7,457.65 |
8,473.39 | 4,843.69 | 9,439.85 |
a). The present value of investment A at an annual discount rate of 15% is $8,473.39
b). The present value of investment B at an annual discount rate of 15% is $4,843.69
c). The present value of investment C at an annual discount rate of 15% is $9,439.85
