A continuous series of cash flows totaling $2,500 per year are made to a fund paying 9 percent compounded continuously.
A What will the fund amount to after 5 years? $
B What is the present worth equivalent of the total set of payments? $
A) Here, A = 2500, r = 9% , t = 5
Future Value = A[(ert - 1) / (er - 1)]
= 2500[(e0.09*5 - 1) / (e0.09 - 1)]
= 2500[(1.5683 - 1) / (1.0942 - 1)]
= 2500(0.5683 / 0.0942)
= $15,082.27
B) Present Value = FV / ert
= 15,082.27 / e0.09*5
= 15,082.27 / 1.5683
= $9,916.95
