Answer:

PV 550,506.64

Step-by-step explanation:


Nominal * (1 - \: discount \: rate)^(time) = \: Present \: Value


560,000 * \: (1-0.05)^(4/12) = PV

PV = 550,506.64

We can convert the discount rate to interest rate and reach the same value:


i= (d)/(1-d) = 0.05/0.95 = 0.052631578


(Nominal)/((1+rate)^(time)) = PV


(560,000)/((1+0.052631578)^(1/3)) = PV

PV = 550,506.64
