10y ago#1The first payment is at time 0 (because it is payable at the start of the year). So if the amount is X, then the present value is X.
It is followed by 7 more payments from time 1 to time 7. If the payment is X per year, then the PV is X x the 7 year annuity factory, which is X x 4.868
So the total PV = X + 4.686X = 5.868X which must equal 52,000.
So X = 52,000/5.868 = 8862
Thank you so much .
