Practice Q2. Chapter 9

Hi, Can you please explain how you got the DF@10% of 4.170 for period 1-4? I don't fully understand why it isn't just 3.170? Thanks, Aoife

The flows are not 1 - 4. The payment are at the start of each year, so the first amount is at time 0. They are for five years, and so they are from 0 - 5. The PV of a flow at time zero is 1 x the flow. The PV of the flows from 1 - 4 is got by multiplying the amount by 3.170. So the PV of all five flows is got by multiplying the amount by 4.170.
