Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A local magazine is offering a $2,500 grand prize to one lucky winner. The prize will be paid in four annual payments of $625 each, starting one year after the drawing. The interest rate is 9%.
First, we find the final value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {625*[1.09^4-1]/0.09
FV= 2,858.21
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
PV= 2,858.21/1.09^4= 2,024.83
