Solution
Solution Steps
To find the annual cash flow of an annuity given the present value, interest rate, and number of periods, we can use the formula for the present value of an annuity. The formula is:
\[ PV = C \times \left(1 - (1 + r)^{-n}\right) / r \]
where:
\( PV \) is the present value of the annuity,
\( C \) is the annual cash flow,
\( r \) is the interest rate per period,
\( n \) is the number of periods.
We need to solve for \( C \), the annual cash flow.
Solution Approach
Rearrange the formula to solve for \( C \).
Substitute the given values into the formula: \( PV = 39000 \), \( r = 0.065 \), and \( n = 16 \).
Calculate the annual cash flow using Python.
Step 1: Identify the Given Values
We are given the following values:
Present Value (\( PV \)): \( 39000 \)
Interest Rate (\( r \)): \( 0.065 \)
Number of Periods (\( n \)): \( 16 \)
Step 2: Use the Present Value of Annuity Formula
The formula for the present value of an annuity is:
\[
PV = C \times \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r}
\]
We need to rearrange this formula to solve for the annual cash flow (\( C \)):
\[
C = PV \times \frac{r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}
\]
Step 3: Substitute the Values
Substituting the given values into the rearranged formula:
