This problem can be solved by the formula:
PV = P (P/F i,n) + PMT (P/A i,n)
where P = principle amount
PMT = the interest pmt (in this case semi-annual payment)
i = interest rate
n = number of periods
PV = 1000 (P/F 5,14) + (1000 X 3%)(P/A 5,14)
= 1000 (.5051) + 30 (9.8986)
= 505.10 + 296.96
= 802.06
I think that should be the answer. But don't quote me on this, it has
been a long time since I did this. |
