    The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21

    Explanation:

    The equivalent today of the 950,000 would be the future value compounded at 7% per year.

    FV = PV * (1+r) ^n

    FV - ?, PV - value 4 years ago, n - number of years, r - rate of return

    PV - 950,000, n - 4, r-7%

    FV = 950,000 * (1.07^4) = 1,245,256.21

    The equivalent value of the expenditure today is = $1,245,256.21
