P.2.1 An investor deposits Rs 100 in a bank account for 5 years at 8 per cent interest. Find out the amount
which he will have in his account if interest is compounded (a) annually (b) semi-annually (6-monthly), (c)
quarterly and (d) continuously.
Solution E P1 + Vm m= Px FVIF,
(a) Annual compounding (m = 1): F - Rs 10o (1 + 0.08/1)5 = Rs 100 (1.4693) = Rs 146.93
(b) Semi-annual compounding (m = 2): F = Rs 100 (1 + 0.08/2) * 2 = Px FVIE,, = Rs 100(1.4802) =
Rs 148.02
(c) Quarterly compounding (m = 4): F = Rs 100 | + 0.08/4) ×4 = Px FVIF, = Rs 100(1.4859) =
Rs 148.59
(d) Continuous compounding: F. P*e " F = Rs 100 (2.71828y * Rs 100 (2.71828y -
Rs 100 (1.4918) = Rs 149.18
P.2.2 If the discoun/required rate is 10 per cent, compute the present value of the cashflow streams detailed
below: (a) Rs 100 at the end of year 1; (b) Rs 100 at the end of year 4; (c) Rs 100 at the end of (i) year 3 and
(ii) year 5 and (d) Rs 100 for the next 10 years (for years 1 through 10).

(d) Rs l00 for the next 10 years (annuity)
P. = Ax PVIFA, Rs 100 x PVIFA, o = Rs 10006.1446) - Rs 614.46.
P.2.3 Compute the presen/discounted value of the following future cash inflows, assuming a required rate of
10 per cent: (a) Rs 100 a year for years 5 through 10 and (b) Rs 100 a year for years 1through 3, nil in years
through 5 and Rs 100 a year for years 6 through 10.
Solution
(a) P= Rs 10OXPVIFA,o )-Rs 100X PVIFA,,) = Rs 1006.1446) - Rs 1003.1699)= Rs 614.46 Rs 316.99
Rs 29747.
(b) P= Rs 100XPVIFA,,)+ [Rs 100(PVIFA,o 1o -Rs 100PVTFAjos )] = (Rs 100 x 2,4869) + ((Rs 100
6) - (Rs 100 x 3.7908) = Rs 248 69 + (R - Rs 379.08) = Rs 248.69 + Rs 235.38
Rs sá 07.
P.2.4 An executive is about to retire at the age of 60. His employer has offered himn two post-retirement
options: (a) Rs 20,00,000 lump sum, (b) Rs 2,50,000 for 10 years. Assuming 10 per cent interest, which is a
better option?
Solution P, AXPVIFA, Po = Rs 2,50,000XPVIFA,o1)Rs 2,50,000(6.1446) = Rs 15,36,150.
Since the lumpsum of Rs 20,00,000 is worth more now, the executive should opt for it.
P.2.5 Compute the present value of a perpetuity of Rs 100 vear if the discount rate is 10 per cent.
Solution Present value of a perpetuity = Wi= Rs 100/0.10 = Rs 1.000.
