In the example cited, the rental payment stream for months 7 through 24 are
“deferred annuities,” as they start at some time in the future. The cash flow
diagram from the investor’s viewpoint looks like this:
To find today’s present value of the cash flows assuming a desired yield, the NPV
technique may be used. (Refer to pages 73 through 77.)
Example 2:
A 2-year lease calls for monthly payments (at the beginning of the
month) of $500 per month for the first 6 months, $600 per month for the next 12
months, and $750 per month for the last 6 months. If you wish to earn 13.5%
annually on these cash flows, how much should you invest (what is the present
value of the lease)
