1 | $ 1.75 | 1/(1+0.15)^1= | 0.869565217 | 0.869565217391304*1.75= | 1.52 |
2 | $ 2.19 | 1/(1+0.15)^2= | 0.756143667 | 0.756143667296787*2.1875= | 1.65 |
3 | $ 2.73 | 1/(1+0.15)^3= | 0.657516232 | 0.657516232431988*2.734375= | 1.80 |
4 | $ 3.42 | 1/(1+0.15)^4= | 0.571753246 | 0.571753245593033*3.41796875= | 1.95 |
5 | $ 4.27 | 1/(1+0.15)^5= | 0.497176735 | 0.49717673529829*4.2724609375= | 2.12 |
6 | $ 5.34 | 1/(1+0.15)^6= | 0.432327596 | 0.432327595911556*5.340576171875= | 2.31 |
7 | $ 6.68 | 1/(1+0.15)^7= | 0.37593704 | 0.375937039923093*6.67572021484375= | 2.51 |
7 | $89.29 | 1/(1+0.15)^7= | 0.37593704 | 0.375937039923093*89.2877578735352= | 33.57 |
Price= Sum of all Discounted CF | 47.44 |
