    The present (Year 0) value of the cash flow steam if the opportunity cost rate is 10% is $10742.50

    Explanation:

    For computing the present value, first we have to calculate the discounted factor. After that multiply the discounted factor with cash flows so that present value could be calculated.

    So, the formula for computing discounted factor is

    = 1 / (1+rate) ^year

    where,

    rate is 10%

    year = 0,1,2,3,4,5

    So Discounted factor for:

    Year 0 is 1

    Year 1 is 0.909

    Year 2 is 0.826

    Year 3 is 0.751

    Year 4 is 0.683

    Year 5 is 0.621

    Now, after getting discounted factor, the present value is

    = Discounted factor of each year + Cash flow of each year

    So,

    For year 0 = 1 * $2,000 = $2,000

    For year 1 = 0.909 * $2,500 = $2272.50

    For year 2 = 0.826 * $0 = $0

    For year 3 = 0.751 * $1,500 = $1,126.50

    For year 4 = 0.683 * $3,000 = $2,049

    For year 5 = 0.621 * $4,500 = $2794.50

    Hence, the present value is = Present value of year 0 + Present value of year 1 + Present value of year 2 + Present value of year 3 + Present value of year 4 + Present value of year 5

    = $2,000 + $2,772.50 + $0 + $1,126.50 + $2,049 + $2794.50

    = $10742.50

    Thus, the present (Year 0) value of the cash flow steam if the opportunity cost rate is 10% is $10742.50
