r - Int rate per period
n - No. of periods

PV of Annuity = Cash Flow * [ 1 - [(1+r)^-n]] /r
= $ 13000 * [ 1 - [(1+0.048)^-12]] /0.048
= $ 13000 * [ 1 - [(1.048)^-12]] /0.048
= $ 13000 * [ 1 - [0.5697]] /0.048
= $ 13000 * [0.4303]] /0.048
= $ 116533.05

Periods | 3 |
Present Value = Future Value / ( 1 + r )^n
= $ 116533.05 / ( 1 + 0.048 ) ^ 3
= $ 116533.05 / ( 1.048 ) ^ 3
= $ 116533.05 / 1.151
= $ 101243.06
