Answer 1

Answer:

The present value is $938.82

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Compute the present value of $1,150 paid in three years using the following discount rates: 6 percent in the first year, 7 percent in the second year, and 8 percent in the third year.

We need to discount the final value of $1,150 for each discount rate starting in year 3.

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Year 3= 1,150/1.08= 1,064.81

Year 2= 1,064.81/1.07= 995.15

Year 1= 995.15/1.06= 938.82

The present value is $938.82
