Chapter 1 (2 & 6 p. 27) 2. What is the maximum amount you would pay for an asset that generates an income of $150‚000 at the end of each of five years if the opportunity cost of using funds is 9 percent? To find the maximum amount‚ we must determine the Present Value (PV) of the $150‚000 over the 5 years. PV=(150000/1.09^1)+(150000/1.09^2)+(150000/1.09^3)+(150000/1.09^4)+ (150000/1.09^5) = $583‚447.69 So‚ if costs exceeded $583‚447.69‚ then the asset would not be worth the price
