A debtor owing payments of $750 due today, $1,000 due in 2
years, and $1,250 due in 4 years requests a payout figure to settle

payment 18 months from now. What is that amount, if the payee can
earn 9.5% compounded semiannually? (Do not round your
intermediate calculations and round your final answer to the
nearest cent.)
