Answer: $250,096

Explanation:

To find out the amount that should be invested today, one should find the present values of both figures and add them up:

Interest rate should be periodically adjusted so: 8% / 2 = 4% per semi annum

No of periods should be adjusted as well.

Amount to be invested today:

= \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{2 * 2 periods} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4 * 2 periods} }\\\\=  \frac{190,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{4} } + \frac{120,000}{(1 + 0.04)^{8} }\\\\= 250,095.62

= $250,096
