Assume that you will buy one share today (1/1/18) and sell your one share 3 years from today (1/1/21). How much do you expect to sell your one share for on 1/1/21?

Please put your answer on the blank line on the answer sheet. Please record your answer in dollars and cents.
buy one share today (1/1/18) and sell the one share 3 years from today (1/1/21)
selling share on 1/1/21 on this date the future cash flows is $8(1/1/22)
Discounting this cash flow with rate of return for an investment (8%) to the present value on (1/1/21)
PV = FV / (1+i)n
= 8 / (1+0.08)1
= 8 / 1.08
= $7.41
