    They should deposit $4,9,02 in the account.

    Explanation:

    Present value is the value of future cash flow in present term. The amount received in future have more value today than in future because of opportunity of reinvestment of cash flow.

    Number of periods = 3 x 12 = 36 months

    Present value = Future value / (1 + r) ^n

    Present value = $10,000 / (1 + 0.02) ^36

    Present value = $10,000 / 2.04

    Present value = $4,902.23 = $4,902
