the present value of an annuity for 2 years, with the first payment at the end of 10 years is 40,239 pesos. If money is worth 4.94%, what is the value of an annuity for 5 years?
Solution:
Given,
PMT(Annuity Payment) = 40239
r(Rate of interest) = 4.94%
n(Number of payments) = 5
Present value of annuity = PMT*(1-1/(1+r)n)/r)
= 40239*(1-1/(1+0.0494)5)/0.0494)
= 40239*(1-1/(1.272639)/0.0494)
=40239*((1.272639-1/1.272639)/.0494))
= 40239*(.272639/1.272639)/.0494
= 40239*0.2142314/.0494
=174503.17
