1. Find the lump sum that must be deposited today to have a future value of $25,000 in 9 years if the funds earn 8%, compounded annually. Use the table of values below.
A. $12,506.25
B. $12,123.68
C. $12,432.19
D. $13,245.87

Answer

To find the present value, use the table to find the present value factor for 8% over 9 years, which is 0.50025. Multiply this factor by the future value:

  1. Present Value = Future Value × Present Value Factor
  2. Present Value = $25,000 × 0.50025 = $12,506.25

The correct answer is A. $12,506.25.
