    The correct answer is B.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Future value = 5,000*4 = $20,000

    i = 8%

    number of years = 5 years

    To calculate the present value of the investment, we need to use the following formula:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 20,000 / (1.08^5)

    PV = $13,611.664
