At the reading of the will, you learn that your inheritance will allow you to receive the amount of $480 at the end of each year for a total of 13 consecutive years. However, because of your young age, these amounts will not begin until the end of 6 years. If the interest rate is 7%, what is the equivalent present value of the inheritance?
Present value=Cash flows*Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)
=480/1.07^6+480/1.07^7+480/1.07^8+480/1.07^9+480/1.07^10+480/1.07^11+480/1.07^12+480/1.07^13+480/1.07^14+480/1.07^15+480/1.07^16+480/1.07^17+480/1.07^18
which is equal to
