Question

Ransport Company has made an investment in another company that will guarantee it a cash flow of $37,250 each year for the next five years. If the company uses a discount rate of 15 percent on its investments, what is the present value of this investment?

Answer 1

PV= $124,867.78

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $37,250

Discount rate= 15%

Number of periods= 5 years

To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

PV= A*{(1/i) - 1/[i*(1 + i)^n]}

PV= 37,250*{(1/0.15) - 1/[0.15*(1.15^5)]}

PV= $124,867.78
