Present value What is the present value of the future amount
(Present value) What is the present value of the future amounts?
a.$800 to be recieved 8 years from now discounted back to the present at 10 percent.
b. $300 to be recieved 7 years from now discounted back to the present at 8 percent.
c. $1,100 to be recieved 13 years from now discounted back to the present at 4 percent.
d. $1,250 to be recieved 5 years from now discounted back to the present at 20 percent
A.) What is the present value of $800 to be recieved 8 years from now discounted back to the present at 10 percent ?
Same process for B, C and D
Solution
Present Value= Amount * Present Value of Discounting Factor ( Rate, Time)
a. Present Value= $ 800 * 1/(1.10) ^ 8
= $ 373.21
Hence the correct answer is $ 373.21
b. Present Value = $ 300 * 1/(1.08) ^ 7
= $ 175.05
Hence the correct answer is $ 175.05
c. Present Value = $ 1,100 * 1/(1.04) ^ 13
= $ 660.63
Hence the correct answer is $ 660.63
d. Present Value = $ 1,250 * 1/(1.20) ^ 5
= $ 502.35
Hence the correct answer is $ 502.35
