Question 1019737: Hi,
I was having trouble with this particular finance question and was just wondering if I had solved it correctly.
Ally wishes to leave a provision in her will that $7000 will be paid annually in perpetuity to a local charity. How much must she provide in her will for this perpetuity if the interest rate is 6%?
PV= C/r
PV = $7000/.06
PV= $116,666.67
Did I do it correctly?

Thanks.
