    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is annuity due problem, where the payment is made at the beginning of the year. Here, also the payment is made immediately.

    Now, applying Annuity due formula

    PV = A (1 - (1+i) ^-n) / i * (1+i)

    So, PV is present value of Grand. That is what we want to find

    A = annuity (the yearly payment) in this case, it is 500,000

    i = is interest rate which is 6%

    n = number of years, 20 years

    putting all these values in the formula

    PV=500,000 (1 - (1+0.06) ^-20) / 0.06 * (1+0.06)

    we get 6,079,058.246

    This is what the grand price of 10 M worth today.
