    what is the future value of the cash flows?

    $16,872

    What is the most this investment is worth today?

    $8548

    Explanation:

    First Payment

    $5000 payment will occur Four year from now

    $5000 payment will occur Five year from now

    $5000 payment will occur six year from now

    Interest rate = 12%

    Future value at year 6 = (5000 (1+0.12) ^2) + (5000 (1+0.12) ^1) + 5000

    Future value at year 6 = 6272 + 5600 + 5000 = $16,872

    Present value of investment = Future Value / (1+r) ^n

    Present value of investment = $16,872 / (1+0.12) ^6

    Present value of investment = $8547.88

    Present value of investment = $8548 (Rounded off to nearest whole Number)
