A financial security offers the security holders multiple payments as follows: $50 semi-annually for 10 years, with the first $50 to be paid a half year from now, and an additional single payment of $1,000 ten years from now. Assume the appropriate APR for this security is 8%, how much should this security sell today?
Select one:
a. $1135.90
b. $1188.26
c. $972.5
d. $1008.75
Rate = 8% / 2 = 4%
Number of periods = 10 * 2 = 20
Present value of annuity = Payments * [1 - 1 / (1+ r)^n] / r
Present value of annuity = 50 * [1 - 1 / (1+ 0.04)^20] / 0.04
Present value of annuity = 50 * [1 - 0.456387] / 0.04
Present value of annuity = 50 * 13.590326
Present value of annuity = $679.516317
Present value of future cash flow = Futuer value / (1 + r)^n
Present value of future cash flow = 1000 / (1 + 0.04)^20
Present value of future cash flow = 1000 / 2.191123
Present value of future cash flow = 456.386946
Price = 679.516317 + 456.386946
Price = $1,135.90
