# UNEVEN CASH FLOW STREAM a. Find the present values of the following cash flow streams at an 8% discount rate. b. What are the PVs of the streams at a 0% discount rate?

a.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: Present value of cash flow stream at 8% discounting rate.

Present value of cash flow: It is also called as discounted value, it defines that amount of money that is invested at a given rate of interest, which will further increase the amount of future cash flow at that particular time in future.

Explanation

Solution:

Working Note to calculate discounting rate

Formula to calculate discounting rate for year 1

DiscountRate=1(1+Interestrate)Numberofyears=1(1+0.08)1=0.92592

Formula to calculate discounting rate for year 2

DiscountRate=1(1+Interestrate)Numberofyears=1(1+0

b.

Summary Introduction

To calculate: Present value of cash flow stream at 0% discounting rate.
