An investment pays $300 in one year, X amount of dollars in two years, and $400 in three years. The total present value of all the cash flows (including X) is equal to $1,600. If the nominal interest rate is 7 percent, what is X?
Added by Dennis R.
Step 1
The present value (PV) of a future cash flow can be calculated using the formula: \[ PV = \frac{FV}{(1 + r)^n} \] where \( FV \) is the future value, \( r \) is the interest rate, and \( n \) is the number of years until the cash flow is received. Show more…

Suppose you receive a payment of $4,000 one year from now, but in year 2 the payment will have grown by 1.8% to $4,000 times (1 + 1.8/100), and in year 3 it will have grown by another 1.8%, so that you receive $4,000 times (1 + 1.8/100)^2, and so on into perpetuity. Note that this is compound growth, not linear. Given an interest rate of 3.2% continuously compounded, what is the present value of these cash flows, to the nearest $0.01?
