Answer to Problem 28PS

The present value if spread evenly for 20 years is $10.20 billion.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the continuous compounded rate

ContinuousRate=[LN(1+Rate)]=[LN(1+8%)]=7.70%

Therefore the continuous compounded rate is 7.70%.

Determine the present value if spread evenly for 20 years

PresentValue=[AmountInvested×(1Rate)(1(Rate×ert))]=[$1billion×(17.70%)(1(7.70%×2.71828(7.70%×20)))]=[$1billion×12.987012.784173]=$10.20284billionor$10.20billion

Therefore the present value if spread evenly for 20 years is $10.20 billion.
