QUESTION 1
We need to calculate the future value of a 5 year annuity with 8% interest rate and $2000 payment. PV of annuity is represented mathematically as:
FV = $11,733.20
Question 2
In thsi question, we first need to calculate the PV of the 5 year annuity (of $3000) with discount rate 8% and then discount it further for 5 years to calculate value at time t = 0.
PV = $7,985.42. This is PV at time t = 5. We need to discount if for 5 more years to calculate the value todat (t = 0)
FV = PV * (1 + r)n
PV (at t=0) = 7,985.42/(1 + 8%)5
PV = $5,434.74 --> Answer
Question 3
Now, since interest rates are different for the annuity payment we won't use formula based approach.
We will break these into two annuities. One annuity that starts next year for 2 year and another that starts from 3rd year onwards.
PV (at t=0) of annuity (from Year 1 to Year2) = 3000/(1 + 0.08) + 3000/(1 + 0.08)2 = $5,349.79
PV (at t=2) of annuity (from Year 3 to Year5) = 3000/(1 + 0.05) + 3000/(1 + 0.05)2 + 3000/(1 + 0.05)3 = $8,169.74
Now PV of this second annuity needs to be discounted further to know value at t = 0. Interest rate for discounting would be 8%.
PV (at t=0) = 8,169.74/(1 + 0.08)2 = 7,004.24
Hence total value of annuity today = $5,349.79 + $7,004.24 = $12,354.03
