Answer 1

Answer:

$6,744.83

Explanation:

We calcualte the present value of a three years annuity discounted at 5.5% considering their cashflow are 2,500

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV$

C 2,500.00

time 3

rate 0.055

$2500 \times \frac{1-(1+0.055)^{-3} }{0.055} = PV$

PV $6,744.8334
