Hi,
An investment will generate cash flows of $5,400 each year in years 3 to 10 (ie first amount to be received three years from now).The discount rate is 20% per annum.
What is the present value of the cash flows?
The answer is $14,386 How to calculate this value? Can someone help! π

Hi croki,
In this question you need the annuity table because it is said that cash flow will be generated 5400 each year.
discounting rate is 20%
1-10years its 4.192
1-2years its 1.528 as we are told that first amount to be received is in 3year time so we should take the amount of the 2nd year
3-10years is 2.664 = (4.192-1.528)5400×2.664 = $14385.6

Don’t have words to thank you for responding this question:-) Full of joy my face! Wow! Annuaty table to collect the values did not see this feature at all! but as you mentioned cash flow generated each Year! bingoxxx I can sleep now and keep practising. I’m presenting the exam this Wednesday 25th CBE let’s see how it goes.

Hi ismari,
By your questions i am also getting to learn. All the best for 25th. Me too haven’t done the exam yet, m doing CBE on Friday 27th. hehehe thanks will take that as a compliment π
your welcome π
July 24, 2012 at 2:30 pm #102082Hi Zeba:-)
Glad you also learning with my questions π They are mainly from BPP Material Books Study.
My last day revising the topics! My strong subjects are Variance Analysis, Accounting for Overheads and Marginal & Absorption Costing. Not too clever with Cash Flows, discounting payback & Annuity calculations:-(
Could you be so kind and help me with this question:An investment will generate a net cash inflaw of $20,000 at the end of its first year. This will rise to $25,000 at the end of the second year and remain at $25,000 per annum in perpetuity. The relevant discount rate is expected to be 8% in the first year and 10% in second and subsequent years.
What is the present value of the cash inflaws?Hammering my head at the moment! π

Hi ismari,
this question is spinning my head too!!
sorry don’t know either. but what is the answer?? may by that we can know what to do.
July 24, 2012 at 7:32 pm #102084Hi Zeba,
This one is definitely a hard one the asnwers is : $250,000 it has perpuity & annuity steps to do.
Maybe for the first year 20,000 x ?
2nd Year $25,000 x (0.010)=250
Inconclusive?
I will let you know tomorrow if I pass, going to Liverpool St BPP Centre in the afternoon plus will let you know some of the questions as well
Keep practising π
I’m nervous already!!!!!!!!!!!!!July 26, 2012 at 7:25 am #102085AnonymousInactive- Topics: 0
