Problem General Motors have developed an advanced light combat vehicle (ALCV) that will reduce the injuries to military personnel amounting to $1 Smillion three years from now. Determine the present worth(P) of these benefits at an interest rate of 10% per year compounded semiannually

Explanation / Answer

Here Future Value of injuries worth = $ 15 million

Number of years in between = 3 years

Interest Rate = 10% = 0.1

Semiannually rate = 0.05

so total payments = 3 * 2= 6 periods

Net Present Value

NPV = Future Value * (1 + r/100)6

NPV = $ 15 * (1 + 5/100)-6  Million

NPV = 15 /1.3401

NPV = $ 11.1932 million

Net present value = $ 11.1932 million
