Expert Solution

We need to use the concept of Future Value for each cash flow to get the solution:

FV = PV * (1+R)N

where PV = Present Value of Cashflows R = Rate of Interest = 4% = 0.04 N = Number of years/periods

For Cashflow 1 PV1 = $100 R = 0.04 N = This cashflow will earn interest for 5 years (6thyear - 1st year)

FV1 = $100 * (1+0.04)5 = $100 * (1.04)5 = $100 * 1.2166529 = $121.665290

For Cashflow 2 PV2 = $150 R = 0.04 N = This cashflow will earn interest for 4 years (6thyear - 2ndyear)

FV2 = $150 * (1+0.04)4 = $150 * (1.04)4 = $150 * 1.16985856 = $175.478784

For Cashflow 3 PV3 = $350 R = 0.04 N = This cashflow will earn interest for 3 years (6thyear - 3rdyear)

FV3 = $350 * (1+0.04)3 = $350 * (1.04)3 = $350 * 1.124864 = $393.7024

Amount the firm will save at the end of the 6th year = FV1 + FV2 + FV3  = $121.665290 + $175.478784 + $393.7024

Amount the firm will save at the end of the 6th year = $690.8464 = $690.85

The firm saves an amount of $690.85 at the end of the 6th year.
