A 910000 B 520866 C 1000000 D 940741 Suppose that you learn
A) 910,000
B) 520,866
C) 1,000,000
D) 940,741
| Suppose that you learn that a friend recently received a substantial inheritance. Your friend was given two choices: 1) wait 10 years and receive the inheritance or 2) receive the present value of the inheritance (using a 3% discount rate) now. Your friend chose option #2, and received a hefty $700,000. How much would your friend have received if she waited 10 years to take the inheritance? |
Solution
Present value(PV) which he receives=700000
i=3%
Future value(FV)=PV(1+i)10
FV=700000(1+0.03)10
FV=700000(1.03)10
FV=938000 (approx)
correct option is D which is close to approximate value.
