Answer:
P = $153689.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Present value annuity is used as today's price to solve this question and its formula is given as:
[tex]P = C (\frac{1-(\frac{1}{1+r})^n}{r})[/tex]
where;
C = Yearly Payment= $13,400
r =rate of interest = 7% or 0.07
n= no of years=24
[tex]P =13,400 (\frac {1-(\frac{1}{1+0.07} )^{24}}{0.07})[/tex]
[tex]P =13,400 (\frac {1-(\frac{1}{1.07} )^{24}}{0.07})[/tex]
[tex]P = 13,400(\frac {1-(\frac{1}{5.072366953} )}{0.07})[/tex]
[tex]P = 13,400(\frac {1-0.19714662}{0.07})[/tex]
[tex]P= 13400(\frac{0.80285338}{0.07})[/tex]
[tex]P = 13400*11.469334[/tex]
P = $153689.0756
P = $153689.08 (to 2 decimal places)
