问题如下:
Grandparents are funding a newborn’s future university tuition costs, estimated at $50,000/year for four years, with the first payment due as a lump sum in 18 years. Assuming a 6% effective annual rate, the required deposit today is closest to:
选项:
A.$60,699.
B.$64,341.
C.$68,201.
解释:
B is correct.
First, find the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity in Year 17 that represents the tuition costs: = $50,000 × 3.4651 = $173,255.28. Then, find the PV of the annuity in today’s dollars (where FV is future value):
PV0 = $64,340.85 ≈ $64,341.
老师在第一步求第17年的fv时用的公式是pv*(1+r/m)对吗?为什么r是1/(1+0.06)^ 4 ,而m是0.06 呢?
