Present Value when discount rate is 24% = $2432.40

Present Value when discount rate is 18% = $2,731.61

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 2 = 600

Cash flow in year 3 = 855  

Cash flow in year 4 = 1,480

Present Value when discount rate is 10% = $3240.01

Present Value when discount rate is 24% = $2432.40

Present Value when discount rate is 18% = $2,731.61
