    The present value of delayed annuity is $11366

    Explanation:

    The annuity is delayed annuity and the present value will be calculated in two step.

    Step 1 Find the normal annuity starting from year 4 (Assume that the first payment is starting from year zero)

    Now

    Present Value at year 4 = Cash flow * Annuity factor

    And annuity factor for first eight years assuming that the first cash flow is arising in the year 4, is 4.968

    This implies that:

    Present value at the start of the year 4 = $3600 * 4.968 = $17885

    Step 2 Discount this present value at year 4 to back year zero

    Present value at year zero = Present Value at year 4 * (1+r) ^4

    Present value at year zero = $17885 * 0.636 = $11366
