An individual is to receive an annuity of $5000 for ten years,at the end of each year.The present value of the annuities is $33,550. What is the cost of capital(r)? a) 2%per annum b) 4% per annum c) 8%per annum d) 16%per annum

33,550 = 5,000 x cumulative 10 year discount factor at the cost of capital (CDF) CDF = 33,550/5,000 = 6.71 So look at your 10 year annuity/cumulative d/c factors until you find 6.71 and read off the discount rate.

This is so fascinating.

hello Open tuition , Can you help me with these questions please? 1. After allowing for inflation, revenue in the first year following the investment is expected to be £25 billion. Thereafter it is expected to grow at a real rate of 6% per year, and the rate of inflation is expected to be 2½% per year. a) how to calculate the sales revenues for 3 years?

If there were no inflation, the revenue would grow by 6% pa as you go from year 1 to 2, then 2 to 3. Revenue for year 3 = £25B x 1.06 x 1.06 = £28.09B On top of that there is also inflation: revenue must grow by 2.5% pa just to keep still in real terms. Therefore the revenue (cash) expected for year 3 is: 28.00 x 1.025 x 1.025 = £29.51B
