Answer #1
Present Value = Future value/ ((1+r)^t)
where r is the interest rate that is 4% and t is the time period
present value of the investment = sum of present values of future cash flows
Year 1 2 3 4 5
future cash flow 20000 10000 10000 10000 10000
present value 19230.77 9245.56 8889.96 8548.04 8219.27
sum of present values 54133.61
The present value of this investment given the interest rate is 4% is $54133.61.
