Answer 1

Answer:

PV = $9,245.56

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future value (FV)= $10,000

Number of periods (n)= 2 years

Discount rate (i)= 4% = 0.04

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

PV = FV / (1 + i)^n

PV = 10,000 / (1.04^2)

PV = $9,245.56
