The insurance settlement pays you $50,000 in one year, growing at 6$ per year for a total of 10 years.
a. The discount rate is 4%
b. What is the value today?
Insurance settlement pays $50,000 in one year, growing at 6% per year for a total of 10 years.
Discount rate = 4%
Cash flow in year 1 = $50,000
Cash flow in year 2 = (1.06)1*50000 = $53,000
Similarly Cashflow in year 10 = (1.06)9*50000 = $ 84473.95
Cash flow in year n can be calculated using (1.06)n-1*50000
Below are the Cashflows in years 1-10 :
Year | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
Cash flow | 50000 | (1.06)1*50000 | (1.06)2*50000 | (1.06)3*50000 | (1.06)4*50000 | (1.06)5*50000 | (1.06)6*50000 | (1.06)7*50000 | (1.06)8*50000 | (1.06)9*50000 |
Present value of a cash flow C(n) in year n and discount rate r is calculated using the below formula:
Total present value is the sum of the present value of all future cash-flows.
Total Present value of Cash flow C(n) in year n is calculated using the below formula:
PV = 48076.92 + 49001.48 + 49943.82 + 50904.27 + 51883.2 + 52880.96+ 53897.9 + 54934.4 + 55990.83 + 57067.57 = 524581.34
Answer -> $52,4581.34
