1. Which is the correct way to calculate the present value of the following cash flow stream at a 10% discount rate?
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
__________________________________________________________________
PV=? $35 $35 $35 $35 $35 $35 $20 $20 $20 $20
A. PV = 35 [PVIFA(10%, 6)] + 20 [PVIFA(10%, 4)]
B. PV = 20 [PVIFA(10%, 10)] + 15 [PVIFA(10%, 6)]
C. PV = 35 [PVIFA(10%, 10)] – 15 [PVIFA(10%, 4)]
D. PV = 35 [PVIFA(10%, 6)]/(1.10)6 + 20 [PVIFA(10%, 4)]
