    Present value is $74,116.62

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The machine pays = $2,655.00 every six months

    n = 27 years = 54 semesters

    Interest rate = 0.13/2 = 0.065

    First, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:

    FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

    A = annual pay

    FV = {2,655*[ (1.065^54) - 1]}/0.065 = $1,183,854.61

    Now, we can calculate the present value using the following formula:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 1,183,854.61 / (1.065) ^44 = $74,116.62
