    The present value of the cash payment is $20

    Explanation:

    The present value of cash payment receivable by Mr Lane in one year's time is the today's equivalent amount of the dividend of $18 as well as the liquidation value of $3.

    The present value is the total cash inflows multiplied by the discount factor

    discount factor=1 / (1+r) ^n

    where is the rate of time preference of 5%'

    n is 1 i. e in one year's time

    total cash inflows=$18+$3=$21

    discount factor = 1 / (1+5%) ^1=0.95238

    present value of cash payment=0.95238*$21=$20
