You inherited an oil well that will pay you $25,000 per year for 25 years, with the payments being made at the beginning of each year. If you think a fair return on the well is 7.5%, how much should you ask for it if you decide to sell it?

Answer:

The answer is $299,574.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Present value of annuity due = P + P [(1-(1+i)^-n-1)/i]

PV = 25000 + 25000[1- (1.075)^-24) / 0.075]= $299,574.17
