Consider an investment that has cash flows of $500 the first year and $400 for the next four years. If your opportunity cost is 10%, how much is this investment worth to you?

answer

Answer: PV = $500(.909) = $454.50 PV = $400(3.170)(.909) = $1,152.61 454.50 + 1152.61 = $1,607.11

question

If your opportunity cost is 10%, how much are you willing to pay for an investment promising $750 per year for the first four years and $450 for the next six years?
