(a). $78,443
(b). $86,652
(c). $90,776
(d). $80,423
The correct option ''B'' $86,652
ExplanationIn:- the above question, We have to find the Equivalent present amount. Which can be found by the following formula:
PV = FV *(1 + i)(-N)
Here,
PV= Present value = TO FIND
FV = Future value = $375,000
i = interest rate = 9% = 0.09
N = Time [No. of years] = 17 years
Substuting the respective value in the formula:
PV = FV *(1 + i)(-N)
PV = 375,000 * (1 + 0.09)(-17)
PV = 375,000 * (1.09)(-17)
PV = 86652.4413
Hence, the present value is $86652,4413
So, the correct option is ''B'' $86,652
