Mark Weinstein has been working on an advanced technology in laser eye surgery. His technology will be available in the near term. He anticipates his first annual cash flow from the technology to be $180,000, received two years from today. Subsequent annual cash flows will grow at 4 percent in perpetuity. What is the value today of the technology if the discount rate is 11 percent

Respuesta :

Answer:

the present value for today is $2,316,602

Explanation:

The computation of the technology value today is shown below:

Present value of the technology is

= (First annual cash flow arisen from the technology) ÷ ( discount rate - growth rate) ÷ (1 + discount rate)

= ($180,000) ÷ (11% - 4%) ÷ (1 + 0.11)

= $2,316,602

Hence, the present value for today is $2,316,602
