Solutions

Expert Solution

Information provided:

Future value (FV)= $2,000,000

Time= 65 years

Interest rate= 7%

Formula for computing present value:

Present Value (PV)=FV/(1+r)^t

                                     = $2,000,000/ (1+0.07)^65

                                     = $2,000,000/ 81.2729

                                     = 24,608.4488.

Therefore, the present value of the windfall is $24,608.45.

In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution
