Consider the following cash flow payments: An income of $2000 at the end of year 2, an income of $5000 at the end of year 4, an expense of $3000 at the end of year 8, and a final income of $4000 at the end of year 10. • Draw the cash flow diagram for the cash flow payments. • Write an expression: what is the present equivalent value of these payments over the 10-year period assuming an interest rate of 10% per year.. Just write down the expression like "e.g. P = 1,000 (P/F, 4%, 10) + 2,500 (P/A, 4%, 5) -4,000". You don't need to calculate the final numerical answer.
