Question

What's the present value, when interest rates are 8.0 percent, of a $160 payment made every year forever? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The present value, when interest rates are 8.0 percent, of a $160 payment made every year forever is $2,000.

Explanation:

Payments each year = Cash flow = C = $160

Rate of Interest = r = 8% = 0.08

Present value of Perpetuity = Cash flow / rate of return

Present value of Perpetuity = C / r

Present value of Perpetuity = $160 / 0.08

Present value of Perpetuity = $2,000

So, the present value, when interest rates are 8.0 percent, of a $160 payment made every year forever is $2,000.
