this is the discount cash flow topic
6y ago#2The PV of the cash inflow (and therefore the principal) is 5,130 x (1/1.14) = 4,500.
Therefore the interest is 5,130 - 4,500 = 630.
thank you very much,u help me a lot. :)
But how to get the 1.14?
is it 0.14+1 year?
6y ago#6No.
1/(1+r)^n is the discount factor where r is the interest rate and n is the number of years. You are given the formula at the top of the page of present value factors that you are given in the exam.
