Explanation:
The formula for calculating continuous compounding is given as follows
F=P(e^it)
F=future value
P=present value
i=interest rate
t=time involved i.e 1 year or 2 year
e=Mathematical constant=2.7183
By applying above mentioned formula, the present value of inventory control software by Baron Chemicals shall be calculated as follows:
Present value of year 2 Cash flow= $286,555.76
($350,000/e^10%*2)
Present value of year 1 Cash flow= $180,967.48
($200,000/e^10%*1)
Present value of year 0 Cash flow= $150,000
Total present value=$617,523.24
