CHAPTER 2 How to Calculate Present Values Answers to Problem Sets 1. If the discount factor is .507‚ then .507*1.126 = $1 2. 125/139 = .899 3. PV = 374/(1.09)9 = 172.20 4. PV = 432/1.15 + 137/(1.152) + 797/(1.153) = 376 + 104 + 524 = $1‚003 5. FV = 100*1.158 = $305.90 6. NPV = -1‚548 + 138/.09 = -14.67 (cost today plus the present value of the perpetuity) 7.
