Present Value = $45,454.55

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

You will get a rent of $50,000 each year.

The discount rate is 10%.

To calculate the present value at time zero of the first rent, we need to use the following formula:

PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

PV = 50,000 / (1.10) = $45,454.55
