Answer:
Annuity per period (A) = $5,400
Interest rate (r) = 11% = 0.11
Number of years (n) = 9 years
PV = A(1 -(1 + r)-n)
r
PV = $5,400(1 - (1+0.11)-9)
0.11
PV = $5,400(1 - (1.11)-9)
0.11
PV = $5400 x 5.5370
PV = $29,899.80
The amount that needs to be invested today is $29,899.80.
Explanation:
In this case, we need to calculate the present value of an ordinary annuity by using the above formula.
