i=0.12
use
P=F*(P/F,i,n)=F/((1+i)^n)

P1=-300/(1.12^3)=213.53
P2=-1000/(1.12^5)=567.43
P3=-200/(1.12^15)=36.54
(negative because money is due in the future)

P=P1+P2+P3 [present value]
P1=-300/(1.12^3)=-213.53
P2=-1000/(1.12^5)=-567.43
P3=-200/(1.12^15)=-36.54
(negative because money is due in the future)
