2) An investment offers $4200 per year for 14 years, with the first payment occurring7 yearsfrom now. If the required return is 10 percent, what is the value of the investment? (HINT: Remember that when you calculate the PV of the annuity, the claculator gives you the present value of the annuity1 period before the annuity starts. So if the annuity starts in year 7, that calculator will to give you the persent value of annuity in year 6. Now you have to bring this number to period 0 by inputting: N=6 (1 period before the annuity starts, in your case it would be a different number depending when your annuity starts) R=10FV=Present value of annuity you found in step 1. And you solve for PV)
