Capital needs are determined as the present value of an annuity due: growth rate = 3.5%, discount rate = 6.0%. Growth of payments is incorporated by adjusting the discount rate to account for the growth rate of earnings. As long as the discount rate is larger than the growth rate, the adjusted rate i can be calculated as follows: [(1 + Discount rate)/(1 + Growth rate)] – 1, or i = (1.06/1.035) – 1 = 2.42%.
