To find the present value of discrete cash flow, we use the <strong>first principle<\/strong> method. That is:<\/p>\n<p>$$ \\text{PV}=\\sum_{\\text{i}}^{\\text{N}}{\\text{x}_\\text{i}\\text{v}^{\\text{t}_\\text{i}}} $$<\/p>\n<p>where\u00a0\\(\\text{x}_\\text{i}\\) is the annual payment. If there is a mixture of both continuous and discrete cash flows, then we can use the following formula:<\/p>\n<p>$$ \\text{PV}=\\sum_{\\text{i}}^{\\text{N}}{\\text{x}_\\text{i}\\text{v}^{\\text{t}_\\text{i}}}+\\int_{-\\infty}^{\\infty}{\\rho\\left(\\text{t}\\right)\\text{v}^\\text{t}} $$<\/p>\n<p>Where \\(\\rho (t)\\) is the amount of payment per unit time <em>t<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vsw id=&#8221;vIQKtXXGqhc&#8221; source=&#8221;youtube&#8221; width=&#8221;611&#8243; height=&#8221;344&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;no&#8221;] AnalystPrep&#8217;s Actuarial Exams\u00a0Preparation Materials For our question bank, study notes, quizzes, and all our video lessons:\u00a0https:\/\/analystprep.com\/shop\/learn-practice-package-for-soa-exam-fm\/ After completing this chapter, the candidate will be able to: Define and recognize the definitions of the following&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4546","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-fm-financial-mathematics","blog-post","no-post-thumbnail","animate"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
