To calculate: The investment of cash flow that gives the higher present value @6% and 22% rate of discount.
Introduction:
The present value of future cash flows that is discounted at a particular rate of discount is called the present value.
Answer to Problem 2QP
The cash flow X at 6% and 22% is $23,125.75 and $12,873.37 respectively and the cash flow Y at 6% and 22% is $21,904.29 and $14,890.93 respectively. Note that the present value cash flow is greater than at 6% in both the investment. At 6% rate of interest, Investment X is more valuable since it has the highest present value and at 22% interest, Investment Y has the highest present value.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Investment X provides Person X $3,400 in a year for nine years, whereas Investment Y provides $5,200 in a year for five years. The rate of discount is given.
Time line for Investment X:
Time line for Investment Y:
Formula to calculate the present value annuity:
Note: C denotes the annuity payment or annual cash flow, r denotes the rate of exchange, and t denotes the period.
Compute the present value annuity for Investment X at 6%:
Hence, the present value annuity for Investment X at 6% is $23,125.75.
Compute the present value annuity for Investment Y at 6%:
Hence, the present value annuity for Investment Y at 6% is $21,904.29.
Compute the present value annuity for Investment X at 22%:
Hence, the present value annuity for Investment X at 22% is $12,873.37.
Compute the present value annuity for Investment Y at 22%:
Hence, the present value annuity for Investment Y at 22% is $14,890.93.

- Consider two streams of cash flows, A and B. Stream A’s first cash flow is $9,800 and is received three years from today. Future cash flows in Stream A grow by 3 percent in perpetuity. Stream B’s first cash flow is −$9,100, is received two years from today, and will continue in perpetuity. Assume that the appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. a. What is the present value of each stream? b. Suppose that the two streams are combined into one project, called C. What is the IRR of Project C?arrow_forwardConsider two streams of cash flows, A and B. Stream A's first cash flow is $10,800 and is received three years from today. Future cash flows in stream A grow by 3 percent in perpetuity. Stream B's first cash flow is -$9,800, occurs two years from today, and will continue in perpetuity. Assume that the appropriate discount rate is 11 percent. a. What is the present value of each stream? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations.
