Using the tables in Exhibits 263 and 264 determine the prese

Using the tables in Exhibits 26-3 and 26-4, determine the present value of the following cash flows, discounted at an annual rate of 15 percent. (Round \"PV factors\" to 3 decimal places. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

a. $8,500 to be received 20 years from today.

b. $13,000 to be received annually for 10 years.

c. $6,700 to be received annually for five years, with an additional $12,000 salvage value expected at the end of the fifth year.

d. $31,000 to be received annually for the first three years, followed by $20,000 received annually for the next two years (total of five years in which cash is received).

$ 8500 to be received in Year 20

PV = 8500 x PV factor of Year 20
= 8500 x 0.061
= $ 518.5 or $ 519

Sum total of PV factor from Year 1 to Year 10 = 5.019

PV of $ 13,000 to be received annually for 10 years = 13000 x 5.019

= $ 65,247

Sum total of PV factor from Year 1 to year 5 = 3.353

PV of 6700 to be received annually for 5 years = 6700 x 3.353 = $ 22,465

PV of $ 12000 received at the end of 5 year = 12000 x PV factor of 5^th year = 12000 x 0.497 = $ 5,964

Total PV = 22465 + 5964 = $ 28,429
