Gain in PV = $1,449,268

Explanation:

Annual % of gross ticket sales = 5% * $50,000,000

Annual % of gross ticket sales = $2,500,000

Present value of annuity = Annuity[1 - (1+interest rate) ^-time period]/rate

Present value of annuity = $2,500,000[1 - (1.03) ^-5]/0.03

PV = $2,500,000*4.579707187

PV = $11,449,268

Gain in PV terms = = $11,449,268-$10,000,000

Gain in PV = $1,449,268
