A local bank advertises the following deal: Pay us $100 at the end of each year for 11 years and then we will pay you (or your beneficiaries) $100 at the end of each year forever.

c. Is this a good deal?

Answer
No

Explanation
Some values below may show as rounded for display purposes, though unrounded numbers should be used for actual calculations.

a.
PV = C((1 / r) – {1 / [r(1 + r)t]})
  = $100 × ((1 / 0.0900) – {1 / [0.0900(1.0900)11]})
  = $680.52

b.
PV10 = C / r
  = $100 / .0900
  = $1,111.11

This is the present value of the annuity in 10 years. You now need to find the present value as of today.

PV = FV / (1 + r)t
  = $1,111.11 / 1.090011
  = $430.59

c.
This is not a good deal if you can earn 9.00% because today’s value of the bank’s payments to you less than the value of your payments to the bank.
