Answer

$\$ 13,007.94$

Work Step by Step

(see p. 870) The present value $A_{p}$ of an annuity consisting of $n$ regular equal payments of size $R$ with interest rate $i$ per time period is given by $A_{p}=R\displaystyle \frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}$ --------------- Given $R =1000,\ n=20$, semiannual = twice per year: $i=\displaystyle \frac{0.09}{2}=0.045$. $A_{p}=1000\displaystyle \times\frac{1-(1.045)^{-20}}{0.045}=\$ 13,007.94$
