A delivery service is buying 600 tires for its fleet of vehicles. One supplier offers to supply the tires for $80 per tire, payable in one year. Another supplier will supply the tires for $20,000 down today, then $45 per tire, payable in one year. What is the difference in PV between the first and the second offer, assuming interest rates are 8.1%?

$-573.54

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be found using a financial calculator.

For the first supplier

Cash flow in year zero = 0

Cash flow in year 1 = $80 x 600 = $48,000

I = 8.1%

Present value = $44,403.33

For the second supplier,

Cash flow in year zero = $20,000

Cash flow in year one = $45 × 600 = $27,000

I = 8.1%

Present value =$44,976.87

Difference = $44,403.33 -44,976.87 = $-573.54

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute
