FVA5,Due=$1,845.99.
(4-13). Present Value of an Annuity
- Find the present value of the following ordinary annuities (see the Notes to Problem 4-12).
- $400 per year for 10 years at 10%
- $2,457.83.
- $200 per year for 5 years at 5%

(4-14). Uneven Cash Flow Stream
- Find the present values of the following cash flow streams. The appropriate interest rate is 8%. (Hint: It is fairly easy to work this problem dealing with the individual cash flows. However, if you have a financial calculator, read the section of the manual that describes how to enter cash flows such as the ones in this problem. This will take a little time, but the investment will pay huge dividends throughout the course. Note that, when working with the calculator’s cash flow register, you must enter CF0=0. Note also that it is quite easy to work the problem with Excel, using procedures described in the file Ch04 Tool Kit.xlsx.)
| Year | Cash Stream A | Cash Stream B |
| 1 | $100 | $300 |
| 2 | 400 | 400 |
| 3 | 400 | 400 |
| 4 | 400 | 400 |
| 5 | 300 | 100 |
- What is the value of each cash flow stream at a 0% interest rate?
