You are asked to find the present value of an annuity due (since the payments are at the start of each period). Therefore we will use the present value of an annuity due formula

\n

$\\displaystyle P=\\frac{C}{i}\\left(1-\\frac{1}{(1+i)^n}\\right)(1+i)$

\n

where $P$ is the present value, $C$ is the cash flow per period, $i$ is the interest rate per period, and $n$ is the number of periods.

\n

In our situation we have,

\n

$C=\\var{C}$,

\n

$i=\\frac{\\var{ipa}\\%}{\\var{period[1]}}=\\frac{\\var{ipadec}}{\\var{period[1]}}$, $i=\\var{ipa}\\%=\\var{ipadec}$,

\n

$n=\\var{years}\\times \\var{period[1]}=\\var{n}$, $n=\\var{n}$,

\n

and therefore we have

\n

$\\displaystyle P=\\frac{\\var{C}}{\\left(\\simplify[unitDenominator]{{ipadec}/{period[1]}}\\right)}\\left(1-\\frac{1}{\\left(1+\\simplify[unitDenominator]{{ipadec}/{period[1]}}\\right)^\\var{n}}\\right)\\left(1+\\simplify[unitDenominator]{{ipadec}/{period[1]}}\\right)$

\n

Calculating this we find

$\\begin{align}P&\\approx \\var{P}\\\\&=\\$\\var{Prounded}\\quad \\text{(to the nearest cent)}\\end{align}$
