If the interest rate is zero, then $100 to be paid in 10 years has a present value that is
less than $100, more than $100, exactly $100, Indeterminate.
Solution:
The present value of $100 in 10 years at an interest rate of 0% is $100. It is because there is no return in the form of interest on the investment.
Present Value = Future Value/ (1+interest)years
PV = 100/(1+0)10
= 100/110 =100
If the interest rate is other than zero then the value increases every time.
If the interest rate is zero, then $100 to be paid in 10 years has a present value that is
less than $100, more than $100, exactly $100, Indeterminate.
Summary:
If the interest rate is zero, then $100 to be paid in 10 years will be $100.
