John will receive equal annual payments of $20,000 with her first payment received in 3 years from today and her last payment received 9 years from today. Find the present value of these payments at the beginning of year 4 (end of year 3) if the interest rate is 5.2%
Please provide a step by step process, thanks!
- John will receive Equal Payments of $20,000 with one payment at the end of year 3 and second payment at the end of year 9.
Calculating the Present Value at the end of year 3 of both payments:-
where, r = Interest rate = 5.2%
n = no of years from year end 3 for Cashflow at year end 3 = 3 years - 3 years = 0
m = no of years from year end 3 for Cashflow at year end 9 = 9 years - 3 years = 6
PV3 = $20,000 + $14,754.88
PV3 = $34,754.88
SO, the present value of these payments at the beginning of year 4 is $34,754.88
