Problem Set II
Problem P9 17:
FV (Table 1) at 11% discount rate
2.00 x .901 = $1.80
2.20 x .802 = $1.79
2.40 x .731 = $1.75
33.00 x .731 = $24.12
--------
$29.46
Problem P9 - 22:
Alternative Present Values: Your rich godfather has offered you a choice of one of the three following alternatives: $10,000 now; $2,000 a year for eight years; or $24,000 at the end of eight years. Assuming you could earn 11 percent annually, which alternative should you choose? If you could earn 12 percent annually, would you still choose the same alternative?
Solution:
(first alternative) Present value of 10,000 received now: 10,000
(second alternative) Present Value of annuity of 2,000 for eight years:
Appendix D
PVa=AxPVifa
=2,000xPVifa (11%,8years)
=2,000x5.146
=10,292
(third alternative) Present value of 24,000 received in 8 years
Appendix B
PV= FV x PVif
=24,000 x PVif(11%, 8 years)
