Expert Solution
Step 1

2000 for 4 years 

1000 for 4 years 

Required rate =10%

Step 2

Present value FACTOR =1-(1+r)^-n/r 

Present value FACTOR =1-(1.1)-4/0.1

present value FACTOR =3.17

Present value of 2000 YEARLY =2000×3.17

Present value of 2000=6340

Than 1000 after wards 

Present value of 1000=3.17×1000/(1.1)4

Present value of 1000=2165.15

Total present value =6340+2165.15=8505.15

Total present value =8505.15
