Question

You are due to receive a lump-sum payment of $1,350 in four years and an additional lump-sum payment of $1,450 in five years. Assuming a discount rate of 2.0 percent interest, what would be the value of the payments today

Answer 1

Answer:

2560.50

Explanation:

For bond valuation, the investor would be willing to pay, at the most, the present value of the future income stream discounted at 2%. Thus, the value of the bond can be determined as follows:

Years  1 2 3 4 5 Total  

Principal              1,350 1,450 2,800  

Interest  0    0      0      0       0        0  

Total inflow 0 0  1,350 1,450 2,800
