P4-11
Case A
Future value of cash flow=FV=$7000
Discount rate=r=12%
Number of periods=n=4
Present value of cash flow=PV=FV/(1+r)^n=7000/(1+12%)^4=$4448.63
Case B
Future value of cash flow=FV=$28000
Discount rate=r=8%
Number of periods=n=20
Present value of cash flow=PV=FV/(1+r)^n=28000/(1+8%)^20=$6007.35
Case C
Future value of cash flow=FV=$10000
Discount rate=r=14%
Number of periods=n=12
