Explanation / Answer

You break this problem down into 2 steps. First you calculate the present value of an annuity of $3200/year for 15 years

=(3200*(1-1.1^-15)/(0.1)) = 24339.45

Present Value of a Lump Sum Investment Calculator

calculate the PV of a lump sum of $24339.45 with a 5-year deferral and the final result is $15,112.88

PV = FV /(1+r)^n = 24339.45/(1+.10)^5 =15112.88
