Question
Maria Addai has been offered a future payment of $750 two years from now. If she can earn an annual rate of 6.5 percent, compounded daily, on her investment, what should she pay for this investment today?
Expert Solution
Formula

PV = FV / [(1+r)^n]

PV = Present value

FV = Future Value = $ 750

r= interest rate = 6.5%

n= no. of years

since, its compounded daily, r is substituted with r/365 & n with n*365

i.e, PV = FV / [(1+r/365)^(n*365)]
