Answer:

PV= $5,128,205.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Annual cash flow= $200,000

Annual rate of return= 3.9% = 0.039

We need to calculate the present value to be invested to obtain a perpetual annuity of $200,000. To determine the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:

PV= Cf / i

PV= 200,000 / 0.039

PV= $5,128,205.13
