What is the present value of $10,000 that will be received in 10 years if the appropriate interest rate is 6%. Do the calculation again with an interest rate of 10% and explain the result.
| Present value | FV×(1÷(1+r)^n) | |
| Here, | ||
| A | rate per annum | 6.00% |
| B | Number of years | 10 |
| C | Number of compoundings per per annum | 1 |
| A÷C | rate per period ( r) | 6.00% |
| B×C | Number of periods (n) | 10 |
| Future value (FV) | 10,000 | |
| Present value | $ 5,583.95 | |
| 10000×(1÷(1+6%)^10) |
| Present value | FV×(1÷(1+r)^n) | |
| Here, | ||
| A | rate per annum | 10.00% |
| B | Number of years | 10 |
| C | Number of compoundings per per annum | 1 |
| A÷C | rate per period ( r) | 10.00% |
| B×C | Number of periods (n) | 10 |
| Future value (FV) | 10,000 | |
| Present value | $ 3,855.43 | |
| 10000×(1÷(1+10%)^10) |
Present value is decreasing with increase in interest rate. Present value and interest rate has inverse relationship.
