    The real rate = (1.102/1.02) – 1 = 0.080392 (or 8.0392%)

    The PV at time 2 of the flows from time 3 in perpetuity = 10,000 / 0.0804 = 124,378
    Giving a total at time 2 of 124,378 + 10,000 = 134,378

    Discounting to time 0 gives a PV of 134,378 / (1.102^2) = $110,653

    (Alternatively you can get the value of the flows from time 3 in perpetuity by using the dividend valuation formula: (10,000 x 1.02) / (0.102 – 0.02) = 124,390. (The difference of 12 is simply rounding) )

    This isn’t really very typical of the sort of things that are asked in F9.
