A contract requires payments of $1,000, $2,000, and $3,000 in 90, 120, and 150 days respectively, from today. What is the value of the contract today if the payments are discounted to yield a 6% simple interest rate of return?

Discounted

Simple Interest

Simple interest is a method of calculating the interest charge on a loan or investment based on the original principal amount and not on accumulated interest.

Contract
