A perpetuity will pay $1,025 per year, starting five years after the perpetuity is purchased. What is the present value of this perpetuity on the date that it is purchased, given that the interest rate is 9%. Show your work or inputs.
Perpetuity payment per period= $1025
Interest Rate= 9%
Present Value of the Perpetuity= PMT/i= 1025/0.09= 11,388.8889
However, since the perpetuity doesn't start paying until 5 years from the date of purchase, the value calculated above is at time t=5. We need value at t=0. So we discount it at 9%p.a.
Present Value on Date of Purchase= 11388.8889/(1.09)5= $ 7,401.996
