Answer:
The present value of your windfall if the appropriate discount rate is 10 percent is $5,562
Explanation:
Amount of Prize = $3,000,000
number of year = 66 years
Discount Rate = 10%
use following formula to calculate the Present value of Lottery prize
Present Value = Future value / ( 1 + discount rate )^number of years
PV = FV / ( 1 + r )^n
PV = $3,000,000 / ( 1 + 0.10 )^66
PV = $3,000,000 x ( 1 + 0.10 )^-66
PV = $3,000,000 x ( 1.10 )^-66
PV = $5,561.65
PV = $5,562
