Answer:

$990.95

Explanation:

The computation of the present value or the invested amount is given below:

Given that

NPER = 18 × 365 days

RATE = 6.6% ÷ 365

FV = $3,250

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

= -PV(RATE;NPER;PMT;FV;TYPE)

AFter applying the above formula, the present value is $990.95
