Solution Steps

To calculate the present value of the annuities, we can use the formula for present value of an annuity:

\[ PV = Pmt \times \left(1 - (1 + r)^{-n}\right) / r \]

where:

  • \( PV \) is the present value of the annuity
  • \( Pmt \) is the annuity payment
  • \( r \) is the periodic interest rate
  • \( n \) is the total number of compounding periods

We will convert the annual rate to the periodic rate based on the compounding frequency before plugging the values into the formula.

Step 1: Calculate the present value of Annuity 1

Given:

  • Annuity payment (\(Pmt_1\)) = $4700
  • Periodic interest rate (\(r_1\)) = 0.03
  • Total number of compounding periods (\(n_1\)) = 3 * 2 = 6

Using the formula for present value of an annuity: \[ PV_1 = Pmt_1 \times \frac{1 - (1 + r_1)^{-n_1}}{r_1} \]

Substitute the values: \[ PV_1 = 4700 \times \frac{1 - (1 + 0.03)^{-6}}{0.03} \]

Calculate \(PV_1\) to four significant digits: \[ PV_1 \approx \boxed{25460.8} \]

Step 2: Calculate the present value of Annuity 2

Given:

  • Annuity payment (\(Pmt_2\)) = $9700
  • Periodic interest rate (\(r_2\)) = 0.02
  • Total number of compounding periods (\(n_2\)) = 2 * 4 = 8

Using the formula for present value of an annuity: \[ PV_2 = Pmt_2 \times \frac{1 - (1 + r_2)^{-n_2}}{r_2} \]

Substitute the values: \[ PV_2 = 9700 \times \frac{1 - (1 + 0.02)^{-8}}{0.02} \]

Calculate \(PV_2\) to four significant digits: \[ PV_2 \approx \boxed{71057.2} \]

Final Answer

\[ PV_1 \approx \boxed{25460.8} \] \[ PV_2 \approx \boxed{71057.2} \]
