Answer:

Present Value= $15,874.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Assume the real rate of interest is 3.00% and the inflation rate is 6.00%. What is the value today of receiving 14,488.00 in 13.00 years?

This is a rare case where the interest rate is negative:

Interest rate= 0.03 - 0.06= -0.03

Having said this, the present value is higher than the final value:

PV= FV/ (1+i)^n

PV= 14,488/ 0.97^3= $15,874.25
