Explanation:

The formula to compute the present value is shown below:

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

or Present value = Future value ÷  (1 + interest rate)^number of years

Let us take an example

Present value = $2,750

Rate = 5.25% ÷ 2 = 2.625%

Number of years = 1 year × 2 = 2 years

So, the future value

= $2,750 × (1 + 2.625%)^2

= $2,750 × 1.0531890625  

= $2,896.27

It is done on semi annual basis. As we can see that the present value is less than the future value
