A student is trying to value an internship opportunity for the upcoming summer. The internship will last three months and pay her $2,147.00 at the end of each month. She will also get a “signing” bonus at the beginning of the internship for $585.00. If the student values this opportunity with a 3.72% APR with monthly compounding, find the value to her today.
monthly rate of interest = 3.72%/12 = 0.31%
