Part 1
The winning amount of lottery is $11,000,000. If we pay it in 26 equal installments on an annual basis, then one installment will equal to 11,000,000/26 = $423,076.92. An ideal option is to start giving the installments as soon as possible.
The interest rate is 9 percent, and the effective annual interest rate will be ((1+r)12 - 1). Here r means 9 percent, which is compounded 12 times because there are a total of twelve months in a year.
The effective annual interest rate will be equal to ((1+0.09)12 ​- 1) = 0.0938. This can also be written as 9.38%, which is the annual discount rate.
The current value of installments = ​Installment0 ​+ Installment1/(1+r)1​ + Installment2/(1+r)2 + ................. + Installment24/(1+r)24 + Installment25/(1+r)25
Here Installmentn ​means the installment at a given time (n). In order to ease the whole process, we included the last year as the installment is supposed to start immediately.
The present or current value of installments is 423076.92 + 423076.92/(1 + 0.0938)1 ​+ 423076.92/(1 + 0.0938)2 + .................................. + 423076.92/(1 + 0.0938)24 +423076.92/(1 + 0.0938)25
Answer =​ $4,453,793.24
