Answer:

The correct answer is $81,352,601 .

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Future Value (FV)= $1,000,000,000

Rate of interest ( R) = 4.50%

Time Period (t)  = 57 years  (1998 -1941)

So, we can find the present value by using the following formula:

PV = FV / (1+R)^t

By putiing the value, we get,

= $1,000,000,000 / (1+4.5%)^57

= $1,000,000,000 / (1+0.045)^57

= $1,000,000,000 / 12.29217

= $81,352,601

Hence, the protection and island cost in 1941 is $81,352,601 .
