If we receive $5,000 eight years from now, how much is that equivalent to today, if we believe that we can earn 5 percent on other opportunities?

A. Solve using a spreadsheet program such as Excel. Indicate the spreadsheet formula showing numeric values rather than cell references. For example, for the value that $100 today could grow to in 2 years, assuming 10 percent annual compounding, the spreadsheet solution formula would be = FV(10%, 2, 0, 100). Note that since there is no annuity payment (PMT) in this problem, it is necessary to show the blank between two commas or a zero after the number of periods. In addition, answer the questions using formulas with cell references.

B. Solve using a financial calculator. (optional)
