Answer:

Present Value = $22,663.69

Step-by-step explanation:

The present value of a sum expected in the future is the worth today given an opportunity cost interest rate. In another words ,it is amount receivable today that would make the investor to be indifferent between the amount receivable today and the future sum.

The present value of a lump sum can be worked out as follows:

PV = FV × (1+r)^(-n)

PV - Present value - ?

FV - Future value - 26,800

r- Interest rate per period - 4.28%

n- number of periods- 4

PV = 26,800 × (1.0428)^(-4)=22,663.69

PV = $22,663.69
