Answer:

PV= $61,759.80

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (FV)= $83,000

Number of years (n)= 10 years

Interest rate (i)= 3% compounded annually

To calculate the initial deposit, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 83,000 / (1.03^10)

PV= $61,759.80
