    Present value of the benefits = $6,240,000

    Explanation:

    Annual interest Rate given = 10%

    Semi-annual Interest Rate = 10%/2 = 5%

    Df @ 5% for 6 semi-annuals : (1+r/2) ^-m * n

    = (1 + 0.05) ^ - 18

    = 0.416

    Present Value of the benefits = 0.416 x $15,000,000

    = $6,240,000

    Hence, the present value of the benefits of this saving is $6,240,000.
