You are considering a project which will provide annual cash inflows of $7,500, $3,000, $9,000, and $12,430 at the end of each year for the next four years, respectively. What is the present value of these cash flows, given a 9 percent discount rate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$25,161.15

Explanation:

The computation of the present value of the cash flows is presented below:

Years   Cash flows        Discount factor               Present value

1            $7,500.00        0.9174311927                $6,880.73

2           $3,000.00        0.8416799933         $2,525.04

3           $9,000.00         0.7721834801                 $6,949.65

4           $12,430.00 0.7084252111                 $8,805.73

Present value                                                        $25,161.15

The discount factor should be computed below

= 1 ÷ (1 + rate)^years
