(a) 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years is $2,503.32.

(b) 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years is $2,310.09.  

(c) 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years is $3,283.75.  

(d) 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years is $3,287.05

Explanation:

The Present Value is calculated by using:-

Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n  

Here, r is the Interest Rate and n is the number of periods.

(a). 8.9 percent compounded monthly for five years:-  

Future Value = $3,900  

Interest Rate (r) = 0.741667% [8.90% / 12 Months])  

Number period (n) = 60 Years [5 Years x 12]  

Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n

(b). 6.6 percent compounded quarterly for eight years:-  

Future Value = $3,900  

Interest Rate (r) = 1.65% [6.60% / 4]  

Number period (n) = 32 Years [8 Years x 4]  

Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n  

(c). 4.3 percent compounded daily for four years  

Future Value = $3,900  

Interest Rate (r) = 0.0117808% [4.30% / 365 Days]  

Number period (n) = 1460 Years [4 Years x 365 Days]  

Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n  

(d). 5.7 percent compounded continuously for three years  

Future Value = $3,900  

Interest Rate (r) = 0.0156164% [5.70% / 365 Days]  

Number period (n) = 1095 Years [3 Years x 365 Days]  

Present Value = Future Value / (1 + r)n
