Answer:

$1,235.47

Explanation:

In this question, we use the present value formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.  

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,  

Future value = $1,000

Rate of interest = 5%  ÷ 2 = 2.5%

NPER = 15 years × 2 = 30 years

PMT = $1,000 × 7.25% ÷ 2 = $36.25

The formula is shown below:

= PV(Rate;NPER;PMT;FV;type)

So, after solving this, the answer would be $1,235.47
