$1,051,448Explanation:Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.present value can be calculated using a financial calculator Cash flow in year 1 =  $250,000Cash flow in year 2 = $37,500Cash flow in year 3 =  $180,000Cash flow in year 4 =  $300,000Cash flow in year 5 =  $550,000 I = 6.5%Present value = $1,051,448To find the PV using a financial calculator:1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.  3.

The sum of the present values of the stream of cash flows is $1,011,772.58Explanation:We need to compute the present value of the cash flows separately for each amountThe first cash flow is occurring at the end of the first yearWe use the formula PV = FV/(1+i)^n   Where PV = Present Value, FV = Future value, i = Interest rate, which is the rate at which the cash flows are to be discounted and n = the year in which the cash flow occursPlugging the values in the formula, we get the present value for the first yearPV = 250,000/(1+0.065)^1 = 250,000/1.065 = 93,896.71= $93,896.71The present values for the successive years are provided as underPV = 20,000/(1+0.065)^2 = 20,000/(1.065)2 = 17,633.1857= $17,633.1857PV = 180,000/(1+0.065)^3 =180,000/(1.065)3 = 149,012.8365= $149,013.8365PV = 450,000/(1+0.065)^4 =450,000/(1.065)4 = 349,795.3909= $349,795.3909PV = 550,000/(1+0.065)^5 =550,000/(1.065)5 = 401,434.4601= $401,434.4601Adding up the present values for each of the years, we obtain the present value of the cash flow stream93,896.71+17,633.1857+149,013.8365+349,795.3909+401,434.4601 = $1,011,773,.58 approximately (only the final answer is rounded off to two decimal points)The solution in word format is also attached here...
