Growing Perpetuities

3. What are Perpetuities? Cash Flows that are: Examples: Infinite
Constant (or Growing at a Constant Rate)
At Regular Intervals
Examples:
I promise to pay you $100 per year forever.
I promise to pay you $10 per week forever.

4. Valuing Constant Perpetuities
Formula
Notes:
No Financial Calculator Function
No Future Value
C and r are per Period

5. Constant Perpetuity Example
What is the present value of $1,000 per year forever? (r = 10%)

6. Growing Perpetuities
Example: I promise to pay you $100 per year growing at 3% forever.
I am promising you the following cash flow:
(1.03) 100(1.03)2 100(1.03)3… or …

7. Valuing Growing Perpetuities
Formula
Notes:
Same as Constant Perpetuity
Growth can be Positive or Negative
C1 is Next Period’s Cash Flow
‘g’ will never be greater then ‘r’

8. Growing Perpetuity Example 1
What is the present value of receiving forever $1,000 per year growing at 3% per year? (r = 10%)

9. Growing Perpetuity Example 2
What is the present value of receiving forever $1,000 per year declining at 3% per year? (r = 10%)
It might be better to call them ‘changing’ perpetuities, since the growth rate can be negative.
