A series of five constant-dollar (or real-dollar) uniform payment of $897.63 is made begining at the end of first year. Assume that the general inflation rate is 18.3% and the market interest rate is 18.3% during this inflationary period. The equivalent present worth of the series is:.

The equivalent present worth of the series is $4,182.21

Explanation:

Fix periodic payments for a specific period of time are annuity payment and the payments made at the start of each period is known as advance annuity.

As per given data

Inflation per year = 18.3% / 5 = 3.66%

numbers of period = 5 years

Payment per period = $897.63

Use following formula to calculate the present value of annuity payments

PV of annuity = P x ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n / r

Where

P = Payment per period = $897.63

r = rate in of interest = 3.66%

n = numbers of periods = 5 years

Placing values in the formula

Equivalent present worth of the series = $897.63 + $897.63 x ( 1 - ( 1 + 3.66% )^-(5-1) / 3.66% )

Equivalent present worth of the series = $4,182.21

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (product

1) the stages a new product goes through from beginning to end, i.e., the stages that a product passes through from introduction through growth, maturity, and decline. 2) the time from initial research and development to the time at which sales and support of the product to customers are withdrawn. 3) the period of time during which a product can be produced and marketed profitably.
