Answer 1

Answer:

Liability will be $2,030,412

Explanation:

We need to calculate the present value of future cash flows in order to determine the liability value.

Liability to be recored = PV of $200,000 payment for 10 years at 6% + PV of $1,000,000 at the end of year 10 at 6%

As we know the payment of $200,000 for 10 years is the annuity payment.

Liability to be recored = $200,000 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 6% )^-10 /6% + ( $1,000,000 x ( 1 + 6% )^-10

Liability to be recored = $1,472,017.41 + $558,394.78 = $2,030,412.18
