Explanation / Answer

The present value formula is P/(1+r)^n where P is the Amount, r is the rate of interest per period and n is the number of periods.

Problem 1

For a period of 15 years , amount received is 102000 per annum with an incremental value of 2700 per year for the next 14 years.

The rate of interest per period is 3%.

Prepare a table for the period given as follows.
