    Answer: $3,012,727.95

    Explanation:

    Given the following:

    Payment per period = 1,000,000

    First payment will occur five years from today

    Interest rate = 5.9% per annum

    Firstly:

    Calculating the interest rate over the 5 year period:

    Interest rate = [ (1 + actual interest rate) ^n - 1)

    Interest rate = [ (1 + 0.059) ^5 - 1)

    Interest rate = [ 1.059^5 - 1]

    Interest rate = 1.331925091729299 - 1

    Interest rate = 0.331925091729299

    Therefore, present value of gift equals:

    Payment per period : interest rate

    1,000,000 : 0.331925091729299

    PV of gift = $3,012,727.94650772
