Answer 1

$22,569.48 is amount i must have to deposit today

Step-by-step explanation:

FV = Future Value , PV = Present Value , r = rate of interest , n= no of period

PV = FV / (1 + r )n

PV = 32000 / (1 + 3%)^4*(1+3.6%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1 + 0.03)^4*(1+0.036%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1.03)^4*(1.036%)^3

PV= $32,000/ (1.03)^4*(1.036)^3

PV= $32,000/ 1.12550881 * 1.111934656

PV= $32,000/ 1.251492251

PV = $22,569.47514

PV = $22,569.48

$22,569.48 is amount i must have to deposit today
