3, and $6,000 at end of year 5. What is the present value of these cash flows at an interest rate of 7%?

A. $9,731.13
B. $10,412.27
C. $10,524.08
D. $11,524.91

Answer:

Option "B" is the correct answer to the following statement.

Explanation:

Given:

Today invested amount = $1,000

1st payment(C1) = $2,000

2nd payment(C2) = $4,000

3rd payment(C3) = $6,000

Interest rate(r) = 7% = 0.07

Present value ( PV ) = ?

Computation of Present value:

[tex]Present \ value =\frac{C1}{(1+R)^1} +\frac{C2}{(1+R)^2} +\frac{C3}{(1+R)^3}\\ Here , n = 1 , 3, 5\ are \ Consicutive\\So , Present \ value =\frac{C1}{(1+R)^1} +\frac{C2}{(1+R)^3} +\frac{C3}{(1+R)^5}\\Present \ value =\frac{2,000}{(1+0.7)^1} +\frac{4,000}{(1+0.7)^3} +\frac{6,000}{(1+0.07)^5}\\Present \ value =\frac{2,000}{(1.07)^1} +\frac{4,000}{(1.07)^3} +\frac{6,000}{(1.07)^5}\\Present \ value =\frac{2,000}{1.7} +\frac{4,000}{1.225} +\frac{6,000}{1.40}\\Present \ value = 9,412.272[/tex]

Total present value = $1,000 + 9412.272

= $10,412.272

The present value of the cash flows that you will be receiving at a 7% interest rate is B. $10,412.27.

Data and Calculations:

Year    Expected Cash   PV Factor     Present Value

Year 0         $1,000                   1              $1,000.00

Year 1         $2,000           0.9346              1,869.20

Year 3        $4,000            0.8163             3,265.20

Year 5       $6,000            0.7130              4,278.00

Total         $13,000                                  $10,412.40

The present value of future cash flows is computed by multiplying the cash flows by each period's discount factor, which is a product of the rate of interest and the period.

Thus, in this case, the present value of the cash flows you will receive is B. $10,412.27.
