Answer:
a. $141,086,622.46.
Explanation:
Calculation for how much must it deposit today
Using this formula
Present Value = Future Value / [ ( 1 + r) n]
Where,
Future Value = 440,000,000
r = rate of Interest= 4%
n = Number of years = 29
Let plug in the formula
Present Value = 440,000,000 / [ ( 1 + 0.04)29]
Present Value= 440,000,000 / 3.1186514519
Present Value= $141,086,622.46
Therefore the amount it must deposit today to fund this liability will be $141,086,622.46
