Answer:
The current value of the future payments = $58,543.11
Explanation:
The current value of the future payment is the present value (PV) of the of the annuity receipts of $8,700 discounted at the rate of 13% per annum.
An annuity is a series of periodic cash flows payable or receivable for certain number of years.
To determine the present value of the annuity, we use the formula below
PV = A × (1 - (1 + r) ^(-n) )/ r
r -13%, n- 17, A = 8,700
PV = 8,700 × ( 1- (1+0.13)^( -17)/ 0.13)
PV = 8,700× 6.7290
PV = 58,543.11
The current value of the future payments = $58,543.11
