    Present Value = $180,000

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The bequest will provide $9,000 in the first year and will grow by 5 % per year, forever.

    Interest rate = 10%

    To calculate the present value of this perpetual annuity with a growing rate, we need to use the following formula:

    PV = Cf / (i-g)

    Cf = cash flow = 9,000

    i = 0.10

    g = 0.5

    PV = 9,000 / (0.10 - 0.05) = $180,000
