    The value of this inheritance is $78,192.28

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The monthly payments Sara will receive starting today for next 40 years is $500.

    Annual Interest Rate = 7.3%

    Monthly Interest Rate = Annual Interest Rate/12

    =7.3/12

    Monthly Interest Rate = 0.6083%

    Present Value = $500 + $500/1.006083 + $500/1.006083^2 + $500/1.006083^3 + ... + $500/1.006083^479

    Present Value = $500 * 1.006083 * (1 - (1/1.006083) ^480) / 0.006083

    Present Value = $500 * 156.39156

    Present Value = $78,192.28

    Thus, the value of this inheritance is $78,192.28
