问题如下:
Grandparents are funding a newborn’s future university tuition costs, estimated at $50,000/year for four years, with the first payment due as a lump sum in 18 years. Assuming a 6% effective annual rate, the required deposit today is closest to:
选项:
A.$60,699.
B.$64,341.
C.$68,201.
解释:
B is correct.
First, find the present value (PV) of an ordinary annuity in Year 17 that represents the tuition costs: = $50,000 × 3.4651 = $173,255.28. Then, find the PV of the annuity in today’s dollars (where FV is future value):
PV0 = $64,340.85 ≈ $64,341.
请问是错在哪里了:
1)先算大一PV:
- 大二 - 大四三年折现:BGN - N = 3, I/Y = 6, PMY = 0, FV = 0 --> PV = 141,669.63
- 大一PV = 50,000 + 141,669.63 = 191669.63
2)算现在PV:
- END: N = 17, I/Y = 6, PMY = 0, FV = 191669.63 --> PV = 71179.28
