  • Question
  • Two payments of $10,000 each must be made one year and four years from now. If money can earn 9% compounded monthly, what single payment two years from now would be equivalent to the two scheduled payments?


  • Options
  • A. 19296
  • B. 19396
  • C. 19496
  • D. 19596

  • Correct Answer
  • 19296 

    Explanation

    The single equivalent payment will be PV + FV.
    FV = Future value of $10,000, 12 months later
     $10,000 *(1.0075)/12
     $10,938.07
    PV=  Present value of $10,000, 24 months earlier
     $10,000/(1.0075)24
     $8358.31
    The equivalent single payment is
    $10,938.07 + $8358.31 = $19,296.38
