Solution
ANSWER
1st Option
PV of $ 1, 50,000 received today
There is some missing information in the Question because present value of $ 1, 50,000 received TODAY will always be $1, 50,000.
Suppose if the question was, find present value of $1, 50,000 received after 10 years then the formulae would have been-
(Amount/ (1+ Discounting Rate) ^10yrs)
OR
Amount * PVIF for 10th year at the discounting rate given
Now, in above example if rate given is 10% then the answer would be:-
$1, 50,000 * PVIF of 10% for 10years (on calculator or excel type (1/1+10%) and then press = for 10times= $1, 50,000 * 0.3855 = $57,825
2nd Option
PV of $ 14,000 received for 20years each year and $ 60,000 at 20th year where rate given is 20%
$ 14,000 * PVIFA for 20% (i.e. Cumulative discounting factor for 20years of 20%) + $ 60,000 * PVIF for 20% (Only the discounting factor at the end of 20th year)
$ 14,000 * 4.8696 + $ 60,000*0.0261= $ 69739.16
Note: - Formulae for this is the same as before
Formulae in Excel- For 10%- (1/1+10%)^10 OR (1/1.1)^10 for 10th year
For 20%- (1/1+20%)^20 for 20th year and cumulative for all 20years
Hope this helps
