Answer 2

c. $3,174

Explanation:

Using a financial calculator, enter the following inputs to find the Present value (PV) ;

Future value; FV = 4,200

Total duration ; N = 2,920 (365 days in a year times 8 years; 8 * 365 = 2920)

Daily interest rate; I = 3.5% /365 = 0.009589%

PMT = 0

then CPT PV = 3,174.338

Therefore, Arya should deposit $3,174
