A thirty-year annuity has end-of-month payments. The first year the payments are each $120. In subsequent years each payment increases by $5 over what it was the previous year. Find the present value of the annuity if i D 3%:

NPV of the annuity = $209,782.38

Explanation:

Note: See the attached file to see how the Present Values (PV) and the Net Present Value (NPV) are calculated.

The following explanation should be read with the attached.

i = Monthly interest rate = 3%/12 = 0.25%, or 0.0025

DF = Discounting factor = (1 + i)^n = (1 + 0.0025,  where n denotes relevant month

Number of months = 30 years * 12 months = 360 months

CF = Cash Flow = P + 5, where P denotes previous payment

if you use only 25 for your entertainment and only 200 for the groceries that you really need and take out the 50 per month for the computer then that should be enough
