    1. $497,847.58

    2. $1,241,900.00

    Explanation:

    The computation of the present value is shown below:

    1. Year Cash flows Discount factor Present value

    1 $100,000.00 0.8928571429 $89,285.71

    2 $200,000.00 0.7971938776 $159,438.78

    3 $350,000.00 0.7117802478 $249,123.09

    Present value $497,847.58

    The discount factor is computed below:

    = 1 : (1 + rate) ^ years

    2. Since the cash flows are same for the 8 years, so we use the PVIFA factor that is shown below:

    = Annual cash flows * PVIFA factor for 8 years at 12%

    = $250,000 * 4.9676

    = $1,241,900.00

    Refer to the PVIFA table
