Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value= $3,000

Number of periods= 15 years

I will assume an interest rate of 8% compounded annually.

To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 3,000/1.08^15

PV= $945.73
