    Present Value = $142

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    In 40 years, you will receive a gold watch valued at $1,000. The interest rate is 5%.

    We have to calculate the value today of $1,000. To do this, we need to use the following formula:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 1,000 / (1.05) ^40

    PV = $142
