Answer 1

Answer: a. $4400.81

b. $4114.99

c. $3625.60

Explanation:

Present value of money is the worth of money at a particular period of time.

a. If the discount rate is 12 percent, what is the present value of these cash flows?

Present value at 12% will be:

= 1250/1.12 + 1180/1.12^2 + 1570/1.12^3 + 1930/1.12^4

= $4400.81

b. What is the present value at 15 percent?

Present value at 15% will be:

= 1250/1.15 + 1180/1.15^2 + 1570/1.15^3 + 1930/1.15^4

= $4114.99

c. What is the present value at 21 percent?

Present value at 21% will be:

= 1250/1.21 + 1180/1.21^2 + 1570/1.21^3 + 1930/1.21^4.

= $3625.60
