Hi, here for the given question we are given that we need to calculate the present value of the 20 dividends.
00:10
So here in our case first of all we will write down the formula for the present value which is pv equals to summation of dividend divided by 1 plus r to the power t.
00:24
So here in our case pv stands for present value, dividend is the dividend payment, r is the annual rate of interest and t is the number of years.
00:34
So here from the details given in the question for first 10 years we can say that pv1 is equal to summation, here we have 1 divided by 1 plus 0 .08 to the power t.
00:51
So now here we are talking for t equals to 1 to 10 years.
00:57
So pv1 is equal to 1 divided by 1 plus 0 .08 to the power 1 plus 1 divided by 1 plus 0 .08 to the power 2 continued up to 10th term.
01:12
So 1 divided by 1 plus 0 .08 to the power 10.
01:17
So here now on calculating this using the value of sum of geometric series we can say that pv1 is equal to 6 .7101.
01:28
Now similarly we need to calculate for next 10 years.
01:32
So here for second 10 year gap we can say that we have pv2 equals to summation of 2 divided by 1 plus 0 .08 to the power t.
01:44
Now here also t is from 11 to 20 years.
01:48
So here substituting the values in our formula we have pv2 is equal to 2 multiplied with 1 minus, i am directly substituting the value in the geometric series formula.
02:04
So 1 minus 1 plus 0 .08 to the power minus 10 divided by 0 .08.
02:13
So here calculating this we have pv2 equals to 13 .4202...
