An investment will pay $100 at the end of each of the next 3 years, $200 at the end of year 4, $300 at the end of year 5, and $600 at the end of year 6. if other investments of equal risk earn 7% annually, what is its present value? round your answer to the nearest cent. $ if other investments of equal risk earn 7% annually, what is its future value? round your answer to the nearest cent.

present value $ 1,026.16

future value  $ 1,539.98

Explanation:

Present Value = $ 100 * 1/(1.07) ^ 1 + $ 100 * 1/(1.07) ^ 2 +$ 100 * 1/(1.07) ^3 + $ 200 * 1/(1.07) ^4 + $ 300 * 1/(1.07) ^5 +$ 600 * 1/(1.07) ^6

=93.45+ 87.34+81.62+152.20+213.23+398.32

= $ 1,026.16

therefore,  the correct value  is $ 1,026.16

b. Future Value = Present Value * ( 1+ Rate of Interest ) ^ Time

= $ 1,175.63 * ( 1+0.07) ^ 6

= $ 1,539.98

Hence the correct answer is $ 1,539.98
