Answer:

At 11.14% interest rate we need to invest    8,650.71  today

At 5.57% interest rate we need to invest 92,090.97 today

Explanation:

We will calculate the present value of 1,000,000 at 11.14% for 44 years

and at 5.57% for 44 years

[tex]\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV[/tex]  

Maturity   1,000,000.00

time   44 years

if rate = 11.4% =  0.114

[tex]\frac{1000000}{(1 + 0.114)^{44} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   8,650.71

if rate = 5.57% = 0.0557

[tex]\frac{1000000}{(1 + 0.0557)^{44} } = PV[/tex]  

PV   92,090.97
