Answer:

The present value of this growing perpetuity is $499,200.

Explanation:

If cashflow is growing at a constant rate, then we call this a growing perpetuity.

Present Value of Growing Perpetuity = [Payment × ( 1 + growth rate)] ÷ [(discount rate - growth rate)]

                                                              = $24,000 (1.04) ÷ (0.09 - 0.04)

                                                              = $499,200
