A 40-acre Christmas tree plantation produces $3,500 of net revenue per acre every 9 years. If the interest rate is 8%, what is the maximum amount of money you should be willing to pay to acquire the plantation when the first cash flow is 5 years away (round to nearest whole number)?
Revenue = $3,500 per acre
Total revenue for 40 acre would be 3500 * 40 = $140,000
Interest rate = 8%
Number of periods = 5years
Present Value = ?
It can be calculated in excel using function PV
=PV(rate,nper,PMT,FV) = -PV(8%,5,0,140000) = $95,281.65
