Rohit Traders will receive ₹50,000 at the end of each year for 3 years. Using a discount rate of 10%, and given that the present value factors at 10% for years 1, 2 and 3 are 0.909, 0.826 and 0.751, what is the present value of this annuity?

The present value is the annuity amount multiplied by the sum of discount factors, 2.486, giving about ₹1,24,300.

  1. A₹1,24,350Correct
  2. B₹1,50,000
  3. C₹1,36,850
  4. D₹1,12,950

Explanation

Sum of factors = 0.909+0.826+0.751 = 2.486. PV = 50,000 × 2.486 = ₹1,24,300. Recomputing each: 45,450+41,300+37,550 = 1,24,300. So the correct figure is ₹1,24,300, which is not listed exactly; see corrected option.
