You are interested in leasing a car, and have been offered a
36-month lease with an annual interest rate of 3%, monthly payments
of $400, and an optional lease buyout of $10,000.
a) What is the present value of the lease?
b) What is the future value of the lease?
Part A:
PV of Annuity:
Annuity is series of cash flows that are deposited at regular
intervals for specific period of time.
PV of Annuity = Cash Flow * [ 1 - [(1+r)^-n]] /r
r - Int rate per period
n - No. of periods
Particulars | Amount |
Cash Flow | $ 400.00 |
Int Rate | 0.2500% |
Periods | 36 |
PV of Annuity = Cash Flow * [ 1 - [(1+r)^-n]] /r
= $ 400 * [ 1 - [(1+0.0025)^-36]] /0.0025
= $ 400 * [ 1 - [(1.0025)^-36]] /0.0025
= $ 400 * [ 1 - [0.914]] /0.0025
= $ 400 * [0.086]] /0.0025
$13,754.59
PV of Lease rentals is $ 13754.59
Part B:
FV of Annuity :
Annuity is series of cash flows that are deposited at regular
intervals for specific period of time.
FV of Annuity = CF [ (1+r)^n - 1 ] / r
r - Int rate per period
n - No. of periods
Particulars | Amount |
Cash Flow | $ 400.00 |
Int Rate | 0.250% |
Periods | 36 |
FV of Annuity = Cash Flow * [ [ ( 1 + r ) ^ n ] - 1 ] /r
= $ 400 * [ [ ( 1 + 0.0025 ) ^ 36 ] - 1 ] / 0.0025
= $ 400 * [ [ ( 1.0025 ) ^ 36 ] - 1 ] / 0.0025
= $ 400 * [ [1.0941] - 1 ] / 0.0025
= $ 400 * [0.0941] /0.0025
= $ 15048.22
FV of Lease rentals is $ 15048.22
