Step 1 Caluculation of Effective rate of Interest

EAR = [ ( 1 + r ) ^ n ] - 1
= [ ( 1 + 0.005 ) ^ 12 ] - 1
= [ ( 1.005 ) ^ 12 ] - 1
= [ 1.0617 ] - 1  
= 0.0617  
I.e EAR is 6.17 %

Step 2: Calculation of FV of Annutiy

PV of Annuity  
Particulars Amount
Cash Flow $          15,000.00
Int Rate 6.1700%
Periods 5
PV of Annuity = Cash Flow * [ 1 - [(1+r)^-n]] /r
= $ 15000 * [ 1 - [(1+0.0617)^-5]] /0.0617
= $ 15000 * [ 1 - [(1.0617)^-5]] /0.0617  
= $ 15000 * [ 1 - [0.7413]] /0.0617  
= $ 15000 * [0.2587]] /0.0617  
= $ 62894.31    

Step 3: Caluculation annutity Value today

Particulars Amount
Future Value $            62,894.00
Int Rate 6.170%
Periods 8
Present Value = Future Value / ( 1 + r )^n  
= $ 62894 / ( 1 + 0.0617 ) ^ 8  
= $ 62894 / ( 1.0617 ) ^ 8  
= $ 62894 / 1.6144  
= $ 38957.82  
   
Present Value:
PV = FV / (1+r)^n
Where r is Int rate per period
n - No. of periods
