First payment is due after 2 years, rate is 4%
we have to find present value for 2 years
PV = FV/(1+r/m)^mn = X /(1+0.04/4)^(2 x 4) = now see image
m= 4 = quarterly compounding, n= 2.
now second payment is after 6 years
there are 2 rates : 4% for first 3 years, then 4.4% for next 3 years, same way we will apply rule, see image
