Answer:

PV= $3,402.9

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Future Vale (FV)= $5,000

Number of years (n) 5 years

Interest rate (i)= 8.5% compounded annually

To calculate the initial investment (PV), we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV / (1 + i)^n

PV= 5,000 / (1.085^5)

PV= $3,402.9
