    The prize is worth $111,258.73.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Cf = $1,000 a month

    Interest rate = 0.07/12 = 0.005833

    Number of months = 15*12 = 180

    First, we need to calculate the final value:

    FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

    A = cash flow

    FV = {1,000*[ (1.005833^180) - 1]} / 0.005833

    FV = $316,951.28

    Now, the present value:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 316,951.28 / (1.005833^180)

    PV = $111,258.73
