Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the concept of present value of an annuity. Present value is the current worth of a series of future payments, discounted at a specific interest rate. An annuity is a series of equal payments made at regular intervals.

Step 2: Use the Present Value of an Ordinary Annuity formula: $ PV = P \times \frac{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}}{r} $, where $ P $ is the annuity payment, $ r $ is the interest rate per period, and $ n $ is the number of periods.

Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula: $ P = 600 $, $ r = 0.06 $, and $ n = 4 $. The formula becomes $ PV = 600 \times \frac{1 - (1 + 0.06)^{-4}}{0.06} $.

Step 4: Calculate the term $ (1 + r)^{-n} $. This involves raising $ (1 + 0.06) $ to the power of $ -4 $. Then subtract this value from 1.

Step 5: Divide the result from Step 4 by $ r $ (0.06), and multiply the quotient by $ P $ (600) to find the present value of the annuity.
