    It should cost $605,183.13 today.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Cash flow = $50,000

    Number of years = 30

    Interest rate = 7.25%

    To calculate the present value, first, we need to calculate the final value using the following formula:

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

    A = cash flow

    FV = {50,000*[ (1.0725^30) - 1]} / 0.0725

    FV = $4,940,897.47

    Now, we can calculate the present value:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 4,940,897.47 / (1.0725^20)

    PV = $605,183.13
