Answer:
Present Value= $7,518.22
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cash flow= $1,400 per year
Interest rate= 10 percent
Number of years= 21 years
5 years from now a
First, we need to calculate the value of the investment 5 years from now. To do that, we determine the final value and then the present value.
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {1,400*[(1.10^21)-1]}/0.1
FV= 89,603.50
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 89,603.50/ (1.1^21)
PV= 12,108.17
Finally, the value today:
PV= 12,108.17/1.1^5
PV= $7,518.22
