Since (1.10)^{-3} = 0.7513, the present value of $100 is

PV = $100(0.7513) = $75.13.

If $75.13 is invested at time 0, the following interest growth takes place with a 0.10 interest rate.

Time Investment at Beginning of Period Interest Investment at End of Period
0 $75.13 $7.51 $   82.64
1 82.643 8.264 90.907
2 90.907 9.091 100.000

If investors can earn 0.10 per period and can borrow at 0.10, then they are
indifferent to $75.13 received at time 0 or $100 at time 3.
