Question

For each of the following, compute the present value (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.): Present ValueYears Interest RateFuture value$ 13 7% $15,251 4 13 49,557 29 14 884,073 40 9 548,164

Answer 1

Present Value = Future Value / ( 1 + interest rate) ^ years

1. Present Value = 15,251 / ( 1 + 7%)¹³

= $6,328.62

2. Present value = 49,557 / (1 + 13%)⁴

= $30,394.24

3. Present value = 884,073 / ( 1 + 14%)²⁹

= $19,780.96

4. Present Value = 548,164 / (1 + 9%)⁴⁰

= $17,452.22
