Further, you may pay for the furniture in three equal annual end-of-the-year payments of $1,000 each with the first payment to be made one year from today.

Answer: $2,673

Step-by-step explanation:

The amounts to be paid are constant so this is an annuity. The present value will therefore be the present value of an annuity.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 3 periods, 6%

= 1,000 * 2.6730

= $2,673
