Your grandfather is retiring at the end of next year. He would like to ensure that his heirs receive payments of $8,100 a year forever, starting when he retires. If he can earn 7.1 percent annually, how much does your grandfather need to invest to produce the desired cash flow? (Round answer to 2 decimal places e.g. 15.25.)
Present value of investment
Applying present value of perpetuity = A/ discount rate
Therefore,
= $8100/7.1%
=$1,14,084.51
Your grandfather need to invest $1,14,084.51 to produce the desired cash flow.
