Answer:

$6,018.26

Explanation:

In this question, we have to find out the present value. The computation of the present value is shown below:

Present value = Future value ÷ ( 1 + rate of interest) ^ time period

                       = $6,500 ÷ ( 1 + 2.6%) ^ 3 years

                       = $6,500 ÷ (1.026) ^ 3 years

                       = $6,500 ÷ 1.0800

                       = $6,018.26
