Answer:

a. Present value = PV(-PMT, N, I/Y)

Present value = PV(-6000, 10, 6)

Present value = $44,160.52

So, the amount to deposit today = $44,160.52

B: Present Value of choice 1 = $5,000

Choice 2: Present value = PV(FV, N, I/Y)

Present value = PV(8000, 5, 8)

Present value = $5,444.67

Hence, Choice 2 is the better choice since it has higher present value ($5,444.67 > $5,000)
