Required:

a. Draw time lines for (a) a $100 lump sum cash flow at the end of Year 2 (b) an ordinary annuity of $100 per year for 3 years, and (c) an uneven cash flow stream of - $50, $100, $75, and $50 at the end of Years 0 through 3.

b. What is the future value of an initial $100 after 3 years if it is invested in an account paying 10 percent annual interest?

    a) Years

    0 1 2 3 4

    a) $100

    b) $100 $100 $100

    c) - $50 $100 $75 $50

    b) What is the future value of an initial $100 after 3 years if it is invested in an account paying 10 percent annual interest?

    future value = present value x (1 + interest rate) ⁿ = $100 x (1 + 10%) ³ = $100 x 1.331 = $133.10

    c) What is the present value of $100 to be received in 3 years if the appropriate interest rate is 10 percent?

    present value = future value / (1 + interest rate) ⁿ = $100 / (1 + 10%) ³ = $100 / 1.331 = $75.13
