She must invest $75732.63

Explanation:

Well firstly we look at the problem in 4 years time and start calculating the present value in four years.

using a financial calculator

n = 6, I = 15%, PMT = cash withdrawals = $35000, Fv = 0 pv = 132456.89

that we take that Present value in four years make it future value in current year

Fv = 132456.89, with same data and compute new present value = 75732.63
