These televisions sell for $2,500 each. An offer has arrived on your desk from a major retailer to buy 100,000 televisions with 10 equal annual payments of $20 million starting immediately. The current interest rate is 6%,What is the present value of the order?
Solution: | |||
The present value of the order is $156,033,845.49 in two decimal or $156,033,845 in whole number OR $156.03 millions | |||
Working Notes: | |||
The present value of the order in which annual payments starting immediately is known as present value of annuity due which we compute using following way. | |||
Present value of annuity due = P x (1+i) (1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i | |||
P= yearly payment = $20 million =$20,000,000 | |||
let i= interest rate per period = 6% per year | |||
n= no. Of period = 10 x 1 =10 | |||
PV of annuity due= ?? | |||
Present value of annuity due = P x (1+i) (1-(1/(1+i)^n))/i | |||
Present value of annuity due = 20,000,000 x (1+6%) (1-(1/(1+6%)^10))/6% | |||
Present value of annuity due = 156033845.490 | |||
Present value of annuity due = $156,033,845.490 | |||
Present value of annuity due = $156,033,845 | |||
Hence | The present value of the order is $156,033,845.49 | ||
