Question 1193989: A sequence of 12 semi-annual payments of P28,000 is made in a bank paying 10% compounded every six months. What is the value of the payments now if the first payment is made at the end of the sixth month?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the present value of the payments is 248,171.05.
the interest rate for each semi-annual time period is 10/2 = 5%.
i used the ti-ba-ii business analyst calculator.
an online calculator that gives comparable results can be found at https://arachnoid.com/finance/index.html
the result from using this calculator are shown below:

the inputs were everything except present value.
the output is present value.
let me know if you have any questions.
