How much money does Stu need to deposit now

Respuesta :

Answer:

2354.048

Explanation:

To calculate the Present Value we need to use the Present Value formula

Present Value = Future Value (1/1+Required Return)^number of periods

Required return = 0.5%.

For the vacation,

Present Value = 700/1.005^5

Present Value = 682.759.

Similarly, for rent,

Present Value = 2000/1.005^36

Present Value = 1671.289.

Hence, the total amount will be = 1671.289 + 682.759 = 2354.048
