The monthly interest is7%/12 =0.583333% (0.0058333)

The discount factor for36 months is1 / ((1.0058333)^36

So the answer is B

(Are you sure that the question is for present value? Because the way it is worded otherwise makes it sound like the terminal value, which would mean multiplying by (1.0058333)^36 and would then give the answer D)

P.V = F.V / (1+i)^n

Monthly Compounding:7 % Divided By12 =  0.0058

 =24,658.51 is the Correct Ans

use the equation A=P(1+i)^n to calculate simple compound interest. p=20000i=0.07/12 months in a year  n=3x12 months in a year A=20000(1+(.07/12))^36 A=$24,658 The answer is d.)
