    Present value of perpetuity is $12,242.27

    Explanation:

    Nominal rate is compounded monthly so the effected rate will be different due to monthly compounding effect.

    Effective annual rate is calculated as follows

    EAR = [ (1 + r) ^n ] - 1

    EAR = [ (1 + 0.0775/12) ^12 ] - 1

    EAR = [ (1.0775) ^12 ] - 1

    EAR = 7.76%

    Present value of perpetuity = Cash flow / discount rate

    Present value of perpetuity = $950 / 7.76%

    Present value of perpetuity = $950 / 0.0776

    Present value of perpetuity = 12,242.27
