son4ous [18]

Answer:

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
