You are in talks to settle a potential lawsuit. The defendant has offered to make annual payments of $28,000, $32,000, $66,000, and $99,000 to you each year over the next four years, respectively. All payments will be made at the end of the year. If the appropriate interest rate is 3.6 percent, what is the value of the settlement offer today

Respuesta :

Answer:

$202,137.90  

Explanation:

Year Annual payment Discount factor  Present value  

1 $28,000          0.965250965 $27,027.03  

2 $32,000          0.931709426         $29,814.70  

3 $66,000          0.899333423         $59,356.01  

4 $99,000          0.868082454 $85,940.16

Total present value                                         $202,137.90  

The discount factor should be computed by  

= 1 ÷ (1 + interest rate)^years  

where,  

rate is 3.6%  

Year = 0,1,2,3,4 and so on
