    Monthly payment (A)

    Interest rate (r) = 4% = 0.04

    Number of years = 5 years

    Number of times payment is made in a year (m) = 12

    PV = A (1 - (1 + r/m) - nm)

    r/m

    PV = $600 (1 - (1 + 0.04/12) - 5)

    0.04/12

    PV = $600 (1 - (1 + 0.0033) - 5)

    0.0033

    PV = $600 (1 - (1.0033) - 5)

    0.0033

    PV = $600 x 4.950878649

    PV = $2,971

    Explanation:

    In this case, we need to apply the formula for present value of ordinary annuity. The monthly payments, interest rate and number of years were provided in the question with the exception of present value. Therefore, we will make the present value the subject of the formula.
