Answer:

$72,679.976

Explanation:

The computation of present value is shown below:-

Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + Rate of return)^Number of years

= $95,000 ÷ (1 + 3.9%)^7

= $95,000 ÷ (1 + 0.039)^7

= $95,000 ÷ (1.039)^7

= $95,000 ÷ 1.307100055

= $72,679.97553

or

= $72,679.976

Therefore for computing the present value we simply applied the above formula.
