Answer:

the present value of cash inflows is $38,608.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount that should be invested today is shown below:

The present value of cash inflows is

= Yield at the end of each of the next ten years × Present value of annuity factor(5%,10)

= $5,000 × 7.7217

= $38,608.50

hence, the present value of cash inflows is $38,608.50

We simply applied the above formula and the same is to be considered
