The present value is $55,839.48. This is calculated by discounting the future value of 100,000back10yearsusingtheformulaPV = (1+r)nFV,wherer=0.06andn=10$.
Conditions: The future value FV is $100,000.; The annual interest rate r is 6% (0.06).; The number of periods n is 10 years.; Compounding is annual.

The future-value formula FV=PV(1+r)n is rearranged by dividing both sides by the growth factor (1+r)n. This isolates PV on one side, resulting in the present-value formula PV=(1+r)nFV.
Conditions: The original formula FV=PV(1+r)n holds true.; (1+r)n is not zero (which is true for standard positive interest rates).
