Competition of different companies gives consumers a wider variety of products to choose from when buying. For example, if a rival company of a lawnmower company joins in, they would be contesting for consumers who are trying to buy a new lawnmower. This may lead to the companies trying to compete by offering different services, warranty, lower prices, etc.

How much would you have to invest today in the bank at an interest rate of 10% to have an annuity of $5600 per year for 7 years,

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

PV = $27,263.15

It will be needed to deposit the lump sum of $27,263.15

Explanation:

The question is asking for how much will you need to deposit in a lump sum today to withdraw for seven years the sum of $5,600 with an interest rate of 10%

In other words it is asking us for the preset value of an annuity of $5,600 with interest of 10%

Using the present value of an annuity formula of $1 we can solve for the present value of that annuity, which is the amount needed to generate this annuity

$C * \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate}= PV\\$

We post our knows value and solve it:

$5,600 * \frac{1-(1+0.10)^{-7} }{0.10}= PV\\$

PV = $27,263.15
