Ben sold his small online business for $100,000. The purchaser will pay him $20,000 today, then $20,000 every year for the next four years. Assume that Ben could invest a lump-sum payment today in an account yielding an interest rate of 4% annually. Find the total present value of all five payments. A.
$87,096
B.
$88,384
C.
$92,598
D.
$93,964

c. 92,598

Step-by-step explanation:

20000 + 20000/1.04 + 20000/(1.04^2) + 20000/(1.04^3) + 20000/(1.04^4)= 20000 + 19230.77 + 18491.12 + 17779.73 + 17096.08

= 92597.

= 92,598

step-by-step explanation:

ok so im not 100% sure but you would start by adding 5.1t and 1.9t beacuse they have the same variable. that is 7t.   then add -3.6 + 1.2 which is -2.4

so then keep that as -2.4 + 7t. i apologize if this is incorrect. best luck on your test < 3
