Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

For this exercise, we need to find the present value of an investment using the following formula:

PV = ∑[Ct / (1+i) ^n]

Ct = annual payment

i = 0.06

1) n = 15

PV = $42,248.29

2) n = 40

PV = $65,451.39

3) n = 75

PV = 71,582.94

4) For a perpetual annuity we need to use the following formula:

PV = Ct/i = 4350/0.06 = $72,500
