Question

You are the star of a blockbuster movie. You can get paid $10,000,000 today or you can get 5.00% of the gross ticket sales for the next 10 years. You expect ticket sales to be $50,000,000 per year for the next 5 years, starting next year. If your investments earn 3% APR compounded annually, how much do you gain in PV terms by taking a percentage of gross

Answer 1

Answer:

Gain in PV = $1,449,268

Explanation:

Annual % of gross ticket sales = 5%  * $50,000,000

Annual % of gross ticket sales =$2,500,000

Present value of annuity = Annuity[1-(1+interest rate)^-time period]/rate

Present value of annuity = $2,500,000[1-(1.03)^-5]/0.03

PV = $2,500,000*4.579707187

PV = $11,449,268

Gain in PV terms= =$11,449,268-$10,000,000

Gain in PV = $1,449,268
