    Pv = $1000 (1.08) ^-4

    Explanation:

    Compounding is the computation of the future value of $1 invested today while discounting is the determination of the present worth of $1 in the future. Both are related by the equation

    Fv = Pv (1 + r) ^n

    where Fv = Future amount

    Pv = Present value

    r = rate of return

    n = time in years

    Hence the formula required

    $1000 = Pv (1 + 0.08) ^4

    Pv = $1000 (1.08) ^-4

    You need to deposit $735.03 today

    Explanation:

    Future Value (FV) : $1,000

    Rate: 8% pa

    Tenor: 4 years

    Present value is the amount of deposit today?

    FV = PV * (1 + rate) ^ tenor

    ⇔ 1000 = PV * (1+8%) ^4

    ⇒ PV = 1000 / (1+8%) ^4 = $735.03
