Pay $460,000 immediately and then pay $136,000 each year over the next 10 years, with the first payment due in one year.
Make 10 annual installments of $180,000, with the first payment due in one year.
Make a single payment of $2,160,000 at the end of five years.

Determine the present value for each option assuming that the company can borrow funds to finance the purchase at 6%.

Answer 1

Answer:

Present value for option 1 = $1,460,000

Present value for option 2 = $1,460,971.84

Present value for option 3 = = $1,324,815.67

Present value for option 4 = $1,614,077.65

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator.

For the first option, the present value is $1,460,000.

For the second option:

Cash flow in year zero = $460,000

Cash flow each year from year one to ten =

 $136,000

I = 6%

Present value = $1,460,971.84

For the third option:

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 10 = $180,000

I = 6%

Present value = $1,324,815.67

For the fourth option:

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 = $2,160,000

I = 6%

Present value = $1,614,077.65

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
