Present Value of Inheritance. You have just inherited a large sum and will be paid $200,000 per year for 10 years (starting in year 1). What is the present value of this sum at an interest rate of 4 percent? You can do this by hand (not recommended) or in an Excel spreadsheet. Here is how: enter “2” in cells A1 through A10. In cell C3, enter @NPV(.04, A1:A10) and press enter and you will have the result. What happens to the present value of your inheritance if the interest rate rises to 6 percent? What will happen if the interest rate falls to 3 percent?
