Answer: none is correct.

Explanation:

Given dа ta:

2 years ago = $500

1 year ago = $300

Today = $800

Solution:

PV (presents value)

= p * r * t

Where:

p = principal ($500, $300, $800)

r = rate = 4%

t = duration (time) (2years, 1 year and present).

= ($500 * 2 * 0.04) + ($300 * 1 * 0.04) + $800

= $40 + $12 + $800

= $852

PV = $500 + $300 + $852

= $1,652.
