9. A 5-year $150 ordinary annuity has an annual interest rate of 8%. What is its present value?
What would the present value be if it was a 10-year annuity?
What would the present value be if this was a perpetuity?
a.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
=150[1-(1.08)^-5]/0.08
=150*3.99271004
=$598.91(Approx)
b.Present value of annuity=Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate
=150[1-(1.08)^-10]/0.08
=150*6.7100814
=$1006.51(Approx)
c.Present value of perpetuity=Annual cash flows/interest rate
=150/0.08
=$1875
