Answer 1

$87,878.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation How much do you need to earn this year

Using this formula

PV = FV/ (1 + r )^n

Where,

FV =Future Value=$100,000

PV = Present Value

r = rate of interest=6.5%

n= no of period=3 years

Let plug in the formula

PV = $100,000 / ((1 + 6.5%)^3)

PV = $82,784.91

Therefore the amount you need to earn this year will be $82,784.91
