    Future value 1000 a year from now. We are expected to pay about 6% less today to get the future value.

    So the answer should be around $940, which makes an easy choice.

    However, to make sure, we use the compound interest formula:

    F=P (1+i) ^n

    where i=6%/12=0.005 [monthly interest]

    n=1year * 12 months / year = 12 months

    1000=P (1.005) ^12

    =>

    P=1000/1.005^12=$941.91 is what needs to be deposited today.
