4.3

Need help with 4.4 a and b at bottom. 4.3 is required to answerthis.

Calculate the following values, assuming a discount rate of8%:

a.

present value of a perpetuity (also called a perpetual annuity)of $50 received each year at the end of each year

b.

present value of an annuity of $50 received at the end of eachyear for 5 years

c.

present value of an annuity of $50 received at the end of eachyear for 10 years, with the first payment to be received at the endof the 6th year

d.

present value of a perpetuity of $50, with the first paymentreceived at the end of the 16th year.

ANSWER:

a. PV of perpetuity = A/i where A is annual payment &i is disc rate
SO PV of Perpetuity = 50/8% = $625.00

b. Here it is PV of annuity for n=5 & PMT=$50
SO PVA = PMT*(PVIFAi,n)
i.e. PVA = $50*(PVIFA8%,5).
From PV of annuity Table, we get (PVIFA8%,5) = 4.3295
So PVA = 50*4.3295 = $216.48

c. This has 2 parts. First Find the PV of Annuity at 6 yrs &then find the PV of that amount at T0.
Here it is PV of annuity for n=10 & PMT=$50
SO PVA = PMT*(PVIFAi,n)
i.e. PVA = $50*(PVIFA8%,10).
From PV of annuity Table, we get (PVIFA8%,5) = 6.7101
So PVA = 50*6.7101 = $335.51
Now PV = FV/(1+i)^n = $335.51/(1+8%)^6 = $211.43

d. This has 2 parts. First Find the PV of Perpetuity at 16 yrs& then find the PV of that amount at T0.
PV of Perpetuity = A/i = 50/8% = $625
Now PV of this amount PV = 625/(1+8%)^16 = $182.43

4.4

a.

Show (with a time line, for example) that the perpetuity in4.3a. is exactly the same as the sum of the annuities andperpetuities in 4.3b. to 4.3d.

b.

Show that their present values add up to the same amount.
