Answer:
(a) If the discount rate is 11 percent, what is the future value of these cash flows in year 4?
To solve this problem, we must find the FV of each cash flow and add them.
To find the FV of a lump sum, we use:
FV = PV(1 + r)^t
[email protected]% = $625(1.11)^3 + $875(1.11)^2+ $1,150(1.11) + $1,250 = $4459
(b) What is the future value at a discount rate of 18 percent?
FV = PV(1 + r)^t
[email protected]% = $625(1.18)^3+ $875(1.18)^2+ $1,150(1.18) + $1,250 = $4852
(c) What is the future value at discount rate of 30 percent?
FV = PV(1 + r)^t
[email protected]% = $625(1.30)^3+ $875(1.30)^2+ $1,150(1.30) + $1,250 = $5597
