Answer:

 $27,026.90

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value formula can be solved to find the present value required.

  FV = P(1 +r)^t . . . future value of P compounded at annual rate r for t years

  $100,000 = P(1 +0.08)^17

  P = $100,000/3.70002 . . . . divide by the coefficient of P

  P = $27,026.90
