12. Someone offers to buy your car for four, equal annual payments, beginning 2
years from today. If you think that the present value of your car is $9,000 and the
interest rate is 10%. What is the minimum annual payment that you would accept? => $3,123.16
Firstly, determine the price of our car in 1 year = $9,000 x (1 + 10%) = $9,900
Moreover, this will be the present value of the ordinary annuity (4 equal annual payments)
$9,900 = annual payment x PV annuity factor
PV annuity factor, 10%, 4 periods = 3.1699
Annual payment = $9,900 / 3.1699 = $3,123.13
