Firstly, let us calculate the Restoration Estimated Cash outflow in $ every year by multiplying (Restoration Estimated Cash outflow in $) by the (Probability Assessment)
Restoration Estimated Cash outflow in $ | Probability Assessment | Restoration Estimated Cash outflow in $ * Probability Assessment |
15780 | 0.1 | 1578 |
23430 | 0.3 | 7029 |
22610 | 0.5 | 11305 |
31150 | 0.1 | 3115 |
23027 |
Therefore, Culver Mining Company will require an expenditure of $ 23027 every year for 3 years after the completion of 10 years.
Year | Cash Outflow $ |
11 | 23027 |
12 | 23027 |
13 | 23027 |
The Present Value of the above three Cash Outflows at the end of 10th Year can be calculated by using the formula in the Excel as
=PV(0.05,3,23027)
Where,
RATE 0.05
NPER 3
PMT 23027
The Present value of the same at the end of 10th Year comes to $ 62708.23
Therefore, if the company wants to make a provision of the above
Expenditure today then it has a time period of 10 years to built a
corpus of $ 62708.23 and assuming the rate of
interest as 5% per annum, the Present value of $
62708.23 today can be calculated by using the following
formula on the Excel:
=PV(0.05,10,,G7)
Where,
RATE 0.05
NPER 10
FV 62708.23
The Present value of the same today comes to $ 38497.41.
Finally, we can say that if the company invests $ 38497.41 today at an interest rate of 5% per annum, then at the end of 10 years the it will be able to built a corpus of $ 62708.23 which will be sufficient for the Annual payment of $ 23027 at the end of 11th Year, 12th Year and 13th Year.
