Let's solve the problem **step-by-step**: ### Given Data - **Required return (discount rate), \( r \) = 10.9% = 0.109** - **Cash flows:** - Year 0: \( -\$3,500,000 \) (do **not** include in PV calculation as per instructions) - Year 1: \( \$1,000,000 \) - Year 2: \( \$1,200,000 \) - Year 3: \( \$1,300,000 \) - Year 4: \( \$900,000 \) - Year 5: \( \$1,000,000 \) We need to find the **present value** (PV) of all future cash flows (Years 1-5), discounted at 10.9%. --- ## Step 1: Write the PV formula Present Value of a future cash flow: \[ PV = \frac{CF}{(1 + r)^n} \] Where: - \( CF \) = Cash flow in year \( n \) - \( r \) = Discount rate - \( n \) = Year number --- ## Step 2: Calculate Each Year's PV Let's do this **year by year**: --- ### **Year 1:** \[ PV_1 = \frac{\$1,000,000}{(1 + 0.109)^1} = \frac{\$1,000,000}{1.109} \approx \$901,712.33 \] --- ### **Year 2:** \[ PV_2 = \frac{\$1,200,000}{(1 + 0.109)^2} = \frac{\$1,200,000}{1.109^2} = \frac{\$1,200,000}{1.229881} \approx \$975,919.77 \] --- ### **Year 3:** \[ PV_3 = \frac{\$1,300,000}{(1 + 0.109)^3} = \frac{\$1,300,000}{1.109^3} = \frac{\$1,300,000}{1.364057} \approx \$953,463.46 \] --- ### **Year 4:** \[ PV_4 = \frac{\$900,000}{(1 + 0.109)^4} = \frac{\$900,000}{1.109^4} = \frac{\$900,000}{1.513753} \approx \$594,673.50 \] --- ### **Year 5:** \[ PV_5 = \frac{\$1,000,000}{(1 + 0.109)^5} = \frac{\$1,000,000}{1.109^5} = \frac{\$1,000,000}{1.680348} \approx \$595,071.89 \] --- ## Step 3: Add All Present Values \[ PV_{\text{total}} = PV_1 + PV_2 + PV_3 + PV_4 + PV_5 \] \[ PV_{\text{total}} = \$901,712.33 + \$975,919.77 + \$953,463.46 + \$594,673.50 + \$595,071.89 \] \[ PV_{\text{total}} = \$4,020,841.00 \] --- ## **Final Answer** **The present value of all future cash flows (Years 1-5) is:** \[ \boxed{\$4,020,841} \] --- **Summary Table:** | Year | Cash Flow | PV Factor (\( (1.109)^t \)) | PV | |------|-------------|-----------------------------|------------| | 1 | \$1,000,000 | 1.109 | \$901,712 | | 2 | \$1,200,000 | 1.229881 | \$975,920 | | 3 | \$1,300,000 | 1.364057 | \$953,463 | | 4 | \$900,000 | 1.513753 | \$594,674 | | 5 | \$1,000,000 | 1.680348 | \$595,072 | | | | | **\$4,020,841** | --- **Note:** Rounded to the nearest dollar.
