PV= $248,368.53

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value (FV)= $400,000

Number of periods (n)= 5

Interest rate (i)= 10% = 0.1

To calculate the present value (PV), we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1í)^n

Isolating PV:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

PV= 400,000 / (1.1^5)

PV= $248,368.53
