Calculate the present value PV of an investment that will be worth $1,000 at the stated interest rate after the stated amount of time.
========
15 years, at 4.3% per year, compounded quarterly
------------
15 years = 60 quarters.
4.3% per yr = 4.3/4 % per quarter --> 0.01075/quarter
===================
FV = PV*(1 + r)^t
1000 = PV*(1.0175)^60
PV = 1000/(1.0175)^60
Just calculator work now.
