Answer:
a. What is the present value of your windfall?
Cashflows are:
0 ----> ? 1.17758
1 ----> 36,079
2 ----> 72,158
3 ----> 108,237
PV = CF0 + [tex]\frac{36,079}{1.056}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{72,158}{(1.056)^{2} } + \frac{108,237}{(1.056)^{3}}[/tex]
PV = 36,079 + 34,165.71 + 64,707.80 + 91914.77
PV = $226,867
b. What is the future value of your windfall in three years
FV = PV (1+R)[tex]^{3}[/tex]
= $226,867 * 1.17758
= $ 267154.86
The future value for my windfall is $267,155
