Find the present value of the estate (by the foregoing rule) as though it were to be entered on immediately, and divide the said value by that power of the ratio de.. noted by the time of reversion, and the quotient will be the present worth of the estate in Reversion. EXAMPLES. 1. Suppose a freehold estate of 40l. per annum to commence two years hence, be put on sale; what is its value, allowing the purchaser 5l. per cent. ?
