Explanation:
Here are the options to this question :
A. yes, 475 is more than the PV of the two remaining payments
B. More information is needed to decide
C. Monique is indifferent between the options, the PVs are equivalent
D. No, the PV of the remaining two payments is more than 475
We have to determine the present value of the remaining two payments and compare the options
Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows
Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator
Cash flow in year 1 = 0
Cash flow in year 2 = 0
Cash flow in year 3 = 250
Cash flow in year 4 = 250
I = 2%
PV = $466.54
$475 is greater than $466.54. Therefore, she should accept the single $475 payment
To find the 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.
3. Press compute
