To find the present value (PV) of an investment, we use the formula for present value with daily compounding:

$PV = \frac{FV}{(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}}$

Where:

• $FV$ is the future value, which is $89,000.
• $r$ is the annual interest rate (8.25% or 0.0825).
• $n$ is the number of compounding periods per year (365 for daily compounding).
• $t$ is the time in years (4 years).

Now, let's plug in the values and calculate:

$PV = \frac{89,000}{(1 + \frac{0.0825}{365})^{365 \times 4}}$

I will compute this.The present value (PV) of the investment is $63,986.60 (rounded to two decimal places).

Here are 5 related questions to explore:

1. How does the frequency of compounding affect the present value?
2. What would the present value be if the discount rate changed to 7%?
3. How would the present value change if the investment matured in 5 years instead of 4?
4. What if the investment was compounded monthly instead of daily?
5. How can the future value be calculated given the present value and interest rate?

Tip: The more frequently interest is compounded, the lower the present value for a given future amount.
