Introduction:
The present value is an amount that an individual has to make for an investment at present in order to generate the cash flow in future. The present value of the cash flows can be computed by adding the cash flow of every stream.

- Suppose the interest rate is 3.6% b. Having $650 in one year is equivalent to having what amount today? c. Which would you prefer, $650 today or $650 in one year? Does your answer depend on when you need the money? Why or why not? **round to the nearest cent**arrow_forwardSuppose $100 is invested at the end of each year for the next 5 years into an account paying an interest rate r% p.a. How much can be drawn at the end of the 5 years? Approach (i) The first $100 is contributed in one year's time and has to wait 4 years to "mature". Write an equation describing this. (ii) The second $100 is contributed in two year's time and has to wait 3 years to "mature". Write an equation describing this. (iii) The third $100 is contributed in three year's time and has to wait 2 years to "mature". Write an equation describing this. (iv) Continue with this logic and sum all the matured values expressedarrow_forwardWhat is the present value of an investment that pays $190 at the end of year 1, $107 at the year of year 2, and $235 at the end of year 3 if this investment earns 5% annually? your answer should be to the nearest dollar. For example, if your answer is id=mce_marker50, then input as 150.arrow_forward
- Outline the concept of present value. The interest rate is 7%. Use the concept of present value to compare the difference between €200 to be received in ten years time and €300 to be received in 20 years time. Problem 1: Assume the interest rate is 6%. In each of the following three cases, state which you would rather receive and briefly explain why: €200 today or €480 in two years? €205 today or €240 in one year? €1,000 in one year or €1,220 in two years? Problem 2: A company has an investment project that would cost €10 million today and yield a payoff of €15 million in four years. Should the firm undertake the project if the interest rate is 11%? 10%? 9%? 8%? Can you calculate the exact point at which the interest rate makes the difference between profitability and non-profitability? please make sure to fully explain the reasoning behindarrow_forwardWhat is the present value of CD with 4% annual interest that matures in 1 year with a value of $3000? If you had $3,000 right now, with the same rates for the same amount of time, can you calculate its future value? What factor would determine which value you chose to use?arrow_forward2. If you receive $99 each quarter for 17 years and the discount rate is 0.05, what is the future value? (show the process and can use financial calculator)arrow_forward
- What is the present value of $1,200 due in 14 years at a 5 percent interest rate and 11 percent interest rate? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest cent. Present value at 5%: $ Present value at 11%: $ Explain why the present value is lower when the interest rate is higher. The less interest you can earn during an investment period, the less you need to invest today to receive a particular amount in the future. The more interest you can earn during an investment period, the less you need to invest today to receive a particular amount in the future. The more interest you can earn during an investment period, the more you need to invest today to receive a particular amount in the future.arrow_forwardSuppose you have an investment offer that guarantees an average investment gain of $1,000 per year.
