    Sir,
    suppose perpetuity starts from year 5, DCF 10%
    So can i calculate pv of cash flow at year 5 in following way

    perpetuity 1/0.10 = 10
    annuity
    (4year) (3.170)

    Difference = 10 – 3.170
    = 6.830

    pv at year 5 in perpetuity = FV * 6.830

    Actually i didn’t understand the Logic behind the calculation given in BPP text book

    Yes – you can calculate it that way 🙂

    The answer will be exactly the same apart from rounding (because the tables only go to 3 decimal places) but that is not a problem in the exam.

    Can you please explain this bit.

    Many Thanks,

    No!

    You should read the earlier posts and watch the free lectures.

    I am sorry, but I am not going to type out all of my Paper F9 and Paper F2 (because this is revision of F2) lectures here 🙂
