6. Present value of annuities Your undle has said that if you agree to finish college he will give you equal payments of $2,000 at the end of each year for the next seven years. If the annual interest rate stays constant at 7%, what is the value of these payments in today's dollars? (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) $9,162 O $10,779 O $11,534 0 $13,474 You found out that now you are going to receive payments of $8,500 for the next 16 years. You will receive these payments at the beginning of each year. The annual interest rate will remain constant at 11%. What is the present value of these payments? (Note: Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.) $93,991 $62,723 $69,623

Explanation / Answer

PV of annuity = P*[(1-(1+r)^(-n)) / r]

P - Periodic payment = 2000

r - rate per period = 7%

n - number of periods = 7

PV of annuity = 2000*((1-(1+0.07)^(-7)) / 0.07)

= $10779

Option 2.

2.

Payments received at the beginning is called Annuity due.

PV of annuity due = P*[(1-(1+r)^(-n)) / r] * (1+r)

P - Periodic payment = 8500

r - rate per period = 11%

n - number of periods = 16

PV of annuity = 8500*((1-(1+0.11)^(-16)) / 0.11)*(1+0.11)

= $69623

Option 3.

= $10779
