Step 1

Given:

Future value = $38,000

Periods = 4.5 years

Interest rate = 6%

Step 2

Calculate the present value as follows:

Present value = Future   value


(1+Rate)Years
Present value = (1+6%)4.5
$38,000
Present value = $38,000 × 0.76934938
Present value  = $29,235.28
Therefore, the present value is $29,235.28
