    Maximum current cost = $267,301.19

    Explanation:

    The maximum current costs of his moving would be worth of the $100,000 annuity in today's dollars, that is the present value.

    The present value of the annuity would be determined as follows:

    PV = A * (1 - (1+r) ^ (-n)) / r

    Annual cash flow, n - number of years, r-rate of interest

    A - 100,000, r - 6%, n - 3

    PV - 100,000 * (1 - 1.06^ (-3)) / 0.06

    PV = $ 267,301.19

    Maximum current cost = $267,301.19
