    PV = $8,048.86

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Future value = $2,000,000

    Number of years = 64

    Discount rate = 9%

    To calculate the value of the price in the present, we need to discount the future value at the appropriate rate.

    We need to use the following formula:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    PV = 2,000,000 / (1.09^64) = $8,048.86
