A perpetuity will pay $1,000 per year, starting eight years after the perpetuity is purchased. What is the present value (in $) of this perpetuity on the date that it is purchased, given that the interest rate is 4%? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
$
Value as on year 8=Perpetual cash flows/interest rate
=1000/0.04
=25000
Hence present value=Value as on year 8*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=25000/1.04^7
=$18997.95(Approx)
