At 6% converted quarterly, the present value of a perpetuity of ₹ 900 payable at the end of each quarter is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

The interest rate is 6% per year, converted quarterly. This means the annual rate is compounded 4 times a year.

The quarterly interest rate is:

i=6%4i = \frac{6\%}{4}

i=1.5%i = 1.5\%

i=0.015i = 0.015


For a perpetuity with payment RR per period and interest rate ii per period, the present value formula is:

PV=RiPV = \frac{R}{i}

Where:

R=₹900R = ₹900 (quarterly payment)

i=0.015i = 0.015 (quarterly interest rate)


Substituting the values:

PV=9000.015PV = \frac{900}{0.015}

PV=₹60,000PV = ₹60,000

Therefore, the present value of the perpetuity is ₹60,000.
