    The worth of the offer today is $64,859.98

    Explanation:

    The worth of the job offer today is the sum of the present values of the projected annual salaries plus the immediate bonus payment,

    The immediate bonus payment is already stated in today's terms, hence does need to be discounted.

    The present value of the $22,000 receivable in one year's time is the $22,000 multiplied by the discounted factor, which is 1 / (1+9.75%) ^1 i. e 0.9112

    total present values=$5,000+$22,000 / (1+9.75%) ^1+$27,000 / (1+9.75%) ^2+$23000 / (1+9.75%) ^3 = $64,859.98
