7. A pension fund manager knows that the following liabilities must be satisfied:
Years from Now Liability (in millions)
|Years From Now |Liability (in millions) |
|1 |$2.0 |
|2 |$3.0 |
|3 |$5.4 |
|4 |$5.8 |
Suppose that the pension fund manager wants to invest a sum of money that will satisfy this liability stream. Assuming that any amount that can be invested today can earn an annual interest rate of 7.6%, how much must be invested today to satisfy this liability stream?
One’s liability:
PV0 = 2,000,000 * [1 / (1 + 7.6%) ^1] = 2,000,000 * 0.9294 = $ 1,858,736.06
Two’s liability:
PV0 = 3,000,000 * [1 / (1 +7.6%) ^2] = 3,000,000 * 0.8637 = $ 2,591,174.8
Three’s liability:
PV0 = 5,400,000 * [1/ (1 + 7.6%) ^3] = 5,400,000 * 0.8027 = $ 4,334,679.04
Four’s liability:
PV0 = 5,800,000 * [1 / (1 + 7.6%) ^4] = 5,800,000 * 0.7460 = $ 4,326,920.42
Answer: 1,858,736.06 + 2,591,174.8 + 4,326,920.42 + 4,326,920.42 = $ 13,111,510.32
