Answer:

$199,047.62

Step-by-step explanation:

PV = X(1+i)^nm

X=$209000

i=5% = 0.05

n=1

m=1

Pv=$209000(1+0.05)^-1x1

Pv=$209000(1.05)^-1

Pv=$209000(1/1.05)

Pv=$209000/1.05

Pv=$199,047.62

$199,047.62 is needed to be donated for investment at 5.0% compounded annually rate for a year so as to get $209,000 at end of the year for the purpose of funding the scholarship.
