Solution Summary

There are 29 basic problems related to time value of money concepts. Solutions to given problems illustrate the methodology to find out the present value and NPV of cash flows in different cases. Solutions are derived with the help of suitable formulas.

Solution Preview

1.
P=50/(1+10%)+100/(1+10%)^2+150/(1+10%)^3+200/(1+10%)^4=$377.399
Option C i.e. $377 is correct.

2.
P=30/(1+15%)^0+20/(1+15%)^1+20/(1+15%)^2+30/(1+15%)^3=82.2397
Option B i.e. $83 is correct.

3.
Periodic Cash inflows=C=$50
Number of periods=n=5
PV of cash inflows=Co+ C/r*(1-1/(1+r)^n)=50+50/12%*(1-1/(1+12%)^5)=230.2388
PV of cash outflows=Q/(1+12%)^1
So, Q/1.12=230.2388
Q=257.8675
Option C i.e. $258 is correct

4.
P=50/(1+10%)^4+120/(1+10^)^5+50/(1+10%)^6+120/(1+10%)^7+50/(1+10%)^8+120/(1+10%)^9=$272.68
Correct option is $275

5.
(P/G,I,n)=((1+i)^n-(i*n)-1)/(i^2*(1+i)^n)=((1+6%)^7-(6%*7)-1)/(6%^2*(1+6%)^7)= 15.44969
PV of cash inflows=100*15.44969=1544.969
PV of cash outflows=P/(1+6%)^1
P/(1+6%)^1=1544.969
P=1544.969*1.06=1637.667
Option A i.e. $1640 is correct.

6.
The interest rate is 10 %

PV of costs=-30000/(1+10%)^0-5000/(1+10%)^5=-33104.61
Option C i.e. $33100 is correct

7.
PV of ...
