Plug in numbers into formula: First, let's plug in the numbers into the formula: PV=1650[(1−(1+0.0068)−216)/0.0068].
Calculate exponent: Now, calculate the part inside the brackets starting with the exponent: (1+0.0068)(−216).
Find difference from 1: Using a calculator, we find that (1+0.0068)−216 is approximately 0.1967.
Divide result by 0.0068: Subtract this value from 1: 1−0.1967=0.8033.
Multiply by 1650: Now, divide this result by 0.0068: 0.8033/0.0068≈118.1324.
Multiply by 1650: Now, divide this result by 0.0068: 0.8033/0.0068≈118.1324.Finally, multiply this by 1650 to get the present value: 1650×118.1324≈194918.46.
