Answer:

$7360.09

Step-by-step explanation:

the amount i would be willing to pay can be determined by calculating the present value of the cash flows

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 10 = 1000

I = 6%

PV = $7360.09

To determine PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
