Answer:

$1,307

Explanation:

The computation of the future value by using the following formula is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years  

$1,500 = Present value × (1 + 0.035)^4

So, the present value is

= $1,500 ÷ (1.035)^4

= $1,307

Hence, the present value is $1,307 and the same is to be considered
