$f = 110000$ , $r = \frac{0.06}{2}$ , $t = 16$

Step 1

Present value is the value on a given date of a future payment or series of future payments, discounted to reflect the time value of money and other factors such as investment risk.

$P V = \frac{f}{{(1 + r)}^{t}}$

Step 2

Substitute the values into the formula.

$P V = \frac{110000}{{(1 + \frac{0.06}{2})}^{16}}$

Step 3.1.1.1

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$P V = \frac{110000}{{(\frac{2}{2} + \frac{0.06}{2})}^{16}}$

Step 3.1.1.2

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$P V = \frac{110000}{{(\frac{2 + 0.06}{2})}^{16}}$

Step 3.1.1.3.1

Add $2$ and $0.06$ .

$P V = \frac{110000}{{(\frac{2.06}{2})}^{16}}$

Step 3.1.1.3.2

Divide $2.06$ by $2$ .

$P V = \frac{110000}{{1.03}^{16}}$

Step 3.1.1.4

Raise $1.03$ to the power of $16$ .

$P V = \frac{110000}{1.60470643}$

Step 3.1.2

Divide $110000$ by $1.60470643$ .

$P V = 68548.36331421$
