Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of the present value of a lump sum: It refers to the current worth of a single future payment or amount, discounted at a specific interest rate over a given number of periods.

Identify the key variables involved in the calculation of the present value of a lump sum. These include: Number of Periods (n), Interest Rate (r), and Future Value (FV).

Recognize that the formula for the present value of a lump sum does not include Periodic Payment (PMT). The formula is typically expressed as:

P_{V} = F_{V} \times {(1 + r)}^{- n}

Clarify that Periodic Payment (PMT) is a variable used in annuity problems, not in lump sum problems. An annuity involves a series of equal payments made at regular intervals, whereas a lump sum is a single payment.

Conclude that the correct answer is Periodic Payment (PMT), as it is not relevant to the present value of a lump sum calculation.
