Respuesta :

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Note: There is an assumption that the payment is yearly payment & is received at the end of every year

Present Value of Perpetuity = Payment Receivable in 1st year/ (Discount rate - Growth rate)

Present Value of Perpetuity = 500/(2%-1%)

Present Value of Perpetuity = 500/0.01

Present Value of Perpetuity = $50,000

So, the present value of all the future trust payments is closest to $50,000
