    C) $2,833,899

    Explanation:

    This is an "annuity due " type of question, it is asking for the Present value (PV) or present worth of an annually recurring equal payment; PMT.

    First, divide 5,000,000 by 20 to get equal payment = 250,000

    Using a financial calculator on "BGN" mode, input the following;

    N = 20

    I/Y = 7%

    PMT = 250,000

    FV = 0

    then compute present value; CPT PV = 2,833,898.81

    Therefore, it will be worth $2,833,899
