PVOrdinary Annuity = C*[(1-(1+i/100)^(-n))/(i/100)]
C = Cash flow per period
i = interest rate
n = number of payments
PV= 3000*((1-(1+ 8/100)^-7)/(8/100))
PV = 15619.11
Using Calculator: press buttons "2ND"+"FV" then assign
 
PMT =3000
I/Y =8
N =7
FV = 0
CPT PV
 
Using Excel
=PV(rate,nper,pmt,FV,type)
=PV(8/(100),7,,PV,)
