Answer:

PV $54,509.5346

Step-by-step explanation:

We will calcualte the present value of an annuity of 8,000 for 12 years at 10% discount rate:

The formula of annuity is:


C * (1-(1+r)^(-time) )/(rate) = PV\\

C 8,000 dollars

time 12 years

rate 10% = 10/100 = 0.10


8000 * (1-(1+0.1)^(-12) )/(0.1) = PV\\

PV $54,509.5346
