    Yearly payments, P = $3,600

    Annual discount rate, i = 8% = 0.08

    Number of years, n = 12

    Present value (PV) when payments are done at done the beginning of each year:

    PV = P+P[1 - (1+i) ^ - (n-1) ]/i = 3,600+3,600[1 - (1+0.08) ^ - (12-1) ]/0.08 = $29,300.27

    Present value (PV) when payments are done at the end of each year:

    PV = P[1 - (1+i) ^-n]/i = 3,600[1 - (1+0.08) ^-12]/0.08 = $27,129.88

    The difference between the two values = $29,300.27 - $27,129.88 = $2,170.39
