For this problem, use an annual interest rate of 4%.

On 1/1/2020, you buy a perpetuity paying you $10,000 at the beginning of each year, commencing on 1/1/2020.  (Recall that a perpetuity is an annuity that does not end.)

(a)        Calculate the present value of the perpetuity as of 1/1/2020.

(b)       After receiving exactly ten payments, you exchange the perpetuity on 1/1/2030 for an annuity paying $x at the beginning of each year for 20 years, commencing on 1/1/2030.  (Note:  Since you have received exactly ten payments, you exchange your perpetuity on 1/1/2030 before receiving the payment of $10,000 on that day.)

What is the present value of your perpetuity on 1/1/2030 when you exchange it?


(c)        Without any calculations, conclude whether $x is greater than, equal to, or less than $10,000.  Explain.

(Note:  A correct answer without a correct explanation earns no credit.)

(d)       Calculate $x.
