Time Value of Money Problems Single and Mixed Streams
Problem 1.
Mixed Stream
Alternative A
Since the amount of cash flow received is uniformly received at the end of each year for 5
years, the formula to be use is present value of an annuity.
1 – (1+i)-n 1 – (1.09) -5
Formula is: PV/A = CF -------------- A = -----------------
i .09
= 700 ( 3.889651263)
= P2.722.76
Alternative B , the cash flow is uneven, thus the formula to be use is PV = (1+i) )-n
Decision: Mixed Alternative B . since this option has the biggest benefit
among them ( P2.856.40)
Problem 2. – Solution
2.1. Proposal 1:
30.000 25,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 15,000 10.000
______|______|_____|______|______|_____|_____|______|_____|______|
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Year PV (P)
1 P 26786
2 19930
3- 9 54573
10 3220
P 104509
Note: there is a difference of P1 due to rounding
2.3. The offer to be accepted is first one with a present value of P104,508 than the
P100,000 assuming this amount is material (difference in amount)
