money is worth 8% per year compounded semi-annually.

1500 payment is made at the end of each semi-annual period or 2 years.

time period is semi-annually.

interest rate per time period is 8% / 2 = 4%.

number of time periods is 2 * 2 = 4.

you can use the following calculator to find the present value of an annuity with end of time period payments.
