Answer:

$332.26

Explanation:

The amount to be invested today is known as the Principle Value. We discount the future cash flows using the effective interest rate to arrive at the Principle Value.

Using a financial calculator, we can determine the Principle Value (PV) simply as follows :

PV = ??

PMT = - $100

P/YR = 1

I = 2 %

FV = $1,500

N = 10

This gives a PV of ($332.26)

therefore,

$332.26 should be deposited now to meet the goals.
