Question 6: Perpetuities
An investment costs $1,548 and pays $138 in perpetuity. If the interest rate is 9%, what is the NPV?

Answer NPV = −1,548 + 138/.09 = −14.67 (cost today plus the present value of the perpetuity). Question 7: Growing perpetuities
A common stock will pay a cash dividend of $4 next year. After that, the dividends are expected to increase indefinitely at 4% per year. If the discount rate is 14%, what is the PV of the stream of dividend payments?

Answer

PV = 4/(.14 − .04) = $40.
