    Present Value = $9,003,586.40

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    You have just won the lottery and will receive $1,000,000 in one year. You will receive payments for 35 years and the payments will increase by 3.4 percent per year. The appropriate discount rate is 7.4 percent.

    I will assume that 1 million is the first payment of 35.

    First, we will calculate the final value. To do this, we need to sum the growing rate to the interest rate.

    FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

    A = annual deposit = 1,000,000

    i = 0.074 + 0.034 = 0.108

    n=35

    FV = {1,000,000*[ (1.108^35) - 1]}/0.108 = $326,067,227.1

    Now, we can calculate the present value:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 326,067,227.1 / 1.108^35 = $9,003,586.40
