Answer 1

PV= $139,506,351.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= $460,000,0000

Number of periods= 29 years

Interest rate= 4.2%

To calculate the initial investment, we need to use the following formula:

PV= FV / (1+i)^n

PV= 460,000,000 / (1.042^29)

PV= $139,506,351.8
