the present value is 9456.96.

the formula you want is the present value of an annuity with end of period payments.

that formula can be found here:

https://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/Finance/THEO-2016-04-29.lesson#f5

if you'd rather use a calculator, that can be found here.

http://arachnoid.com/finance/index.html

in this calculator, you enter the following:

present value = 0
future value = 0
number of periods= 24
payment amount = -500
interest rate percent per period = 2
payment at end

then click on pv and it will tell you that the present value is 9,456.96
