Nancy Billows promised to pay her son $600 quarterly for 4 years. If Nancy can invest her money at 8 percent in an ordinary annuity, Nancy must invest how much today? (Use the tables in the handbook.) Is 16 periods correct at 8% interest? If so the table rate for present value of an annuity is 8.8514%. Do I take $600.00 x 8.8514= 5310.84? Is that right? I don't want to write out the entire table so if you can tell me the periods and the rate which I know is 8% I can tell you the table rate.   $10,759.38   $10,759.83   $8,146.62   $8,478.27   None of these
