Answer:
$1,883.81
Explanation:
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the present value (FV) as follows:
PV = FV ÷ (1 + r)^n ……………………………………………. (1)
PV = Present value or the amount to invest in the CD = ?
FV = future value or the amount needed in three years = $2,000
r = interest rate = 2% annually = 2%/4 quarterly = 0.5% or 0.005 quarterly
n = number of period = 3 years = (3 × 4) quarters = 12 quarters
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
PV = 2,000 ÷ (1 + 0.005)^12 = 2,000 ÷ 1.0616778118645 = $1,883.81
Therefore, Angela should invest $1,883.81 in the CD.
