Answer :

What is the present equivalent of 18,000 to be received in 15 years when the interest rate is 7% per year?

N periods equal 15 years.

Interest rate I is 7% annually (compounding)

PV (present value) = -6,524.03

FV = + 18,000 in the future

Simple interest is equal to (18000*7*15)/100. = 18900

The maturity sum is therefore 18000 + 18900 = 36900.

PV = ?

N = 15 (periods)

Rate = 7%

FV = 18,000

PV ($6,524.03)
