A perpetuity will pay $700 per year, starting 6 years after the perpetuity is purchased. What is the present value (PV) of this perpetuity on the day that it is purchased (conside this time 0), given that the annual interest rate is 5%?
$10,447.02
$10,969.37
$522.35
$14,000.00
P = Annuity payment = $700
r = Annual interest rate = 5%
n = 6 years
Present Value of Perpetuity = [P / r] / (1+r)^n
= [$700 / 5%] / (1+5%)^6
= $14,000 / 1.34009564
= $10,447.0156
Therefore, Present Value of Perpetuity is $10,447.02
