Explanation / Answer

It will be $77,613.55

for first part - $4,035 , n = 12(quarterly for 3 years) , r =.025 = If we use PV function excel as :

=PV(0.025,12,-4035,0) = $41,390.08

For 2nd part since it beggins for the following 25 quarters after 12 quarters . So, n = 37

=PV(0.025,37,-1512,0) = $36,223.46
