Round your final answers to 2 decimal places.) Dividend Present Value 3.06 3.42 3.78 56.00 Total 0.00

Explanation / Answer

Calculation of Present value of all future benafits

3.06 - 3.06*PVF@13%,Year1

=3.06*.885

=2.71

3.42 - 3.42*PVF@Year2

=3.42*.783

=2.68

3.78 - 3.78*.693

=2.62

56 56*.693

=38.81
