The HRI company is considering selling its School of Business to Yale. The proposed deal would require Yale to pay HRI $30,000 and $25,000 at the end of years 1 and 2, and to also make yearly payments (at the end of the year) of $15,000 in years 3 through 9. Yale would make a final payment to HRI for $10,000 at the end of year 10. If the discount rate is 12% what is the present value of the series of payments?
Present value = Future value / (1 + rate)^time
Present value of 1st set of cash flows = 30,000 / (1 + 0.12)^1 + 25,000 / (1 + 0.12)^2
Present value of 1st set of cash flows = 26,785.71429 + 19,929.84694
Present value of 1st set of cash flows = $46,715.56123
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows in year 2 = Annuity * [1 - 1 / (1 + rate)^time] / rate
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows in year 2 = 15,000 * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.12)^7] / 0.12
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows in year 2 = 15,000 * [1 - 0.45235] / 0.12
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows in year 2 = 15,000 * 4.56376
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows in year 2 = $68,456.4808
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows today = 68,456.4808 / (1 + 0.12)^2
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows today = 68,456.4808 / 1.2544
Present value of 2nd set of cash flows today = $54,573.08737
Present value of final cash flow = 10,000 / (1 + 0.12)^10
Present value of final cash flow = 10,000 / 3.10585
Present value of final cash flow = $3,219.7324
Present value of series of cash flows = 3,219.7324 + 54,573.08737 + 46,715.56123
Present value of series of cash flows = $104,508.28
