Answer:
The value of the settlement today = $231,897.79
Explanation:
The value of the settlement today is the sum of the present value (PV) of cash inflows discounted at the discount rate of 5.7 %.
Year PV
1 35,000 × 1.057^(-1) = 33112.58
2 39,000× 1.057^(-2) = 34907.16
3. 80,000× 1.057^(-3) = 67743.09
4 120,000 × 1.057^(-4) =96134.94
The Pv of the total cash in flow =33,112.58 + 34,907.17 + 67,743.09 + 96,134.95 = 231,897.79
The value of the settlement today = $231,897.79
