Answer:
$ 3,085
Explanation:
Given that;
The present value(PV) ------ ???
Future  payment (F) ----  $5,000
The annual effective rate are 4%, 5% and 5.5% respectively, which can be illustrated as;
r = 0.04, 0.05 and 0.055 respectively.
The present value  formula is given as:


PV = 5000 × (1.04)⁻³(1.05)⁻²(1.055)⁻⁵
= $ 3,084.814759
≅ $ 3,085
