Answer:

$2,216,588.59

Explanation:

The fair amount to trade her 22 future lottery receipts is the present worth of the future payments discounted using 5.1% discount rate as shown below.

The present value can be computed using the excel present value formula:

=pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the interest /discount rate of 5.1%

nper is the number of times the future payment would be made which is 22

pmt is the amount of each future payment.

fv is the future value worth of the 22 payments which is not known hence taken as zero

=-pv(5.1%,22,169,934,0)=$2,216,588.59
