Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $225,000 per year forever with the first payment one year from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 4.4 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today?

Respuesta :

Answer:

They must deposit $5,113,636.36.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flow= $225,000

Interest rate= 4.4 percent

To determine the amount to be deposited today, we need to use the perpetual annuity formula:

PV= Cf/i

Cf= cash flow

PV= 225,000/0.044

PV= $5,113,636.36

They must deposit $5,113,636.36.
